Had he been losing his balance, fine, but that was clearly not the case. He looked like NES Super Mario jumping and hitting a brick block lol It was the perfect keeper punch.

I mean, seriously, just look at the threads on this board. At Caps we bitch about Robinson. At TFC, they pick and pick about refs. But that was a disgusting gift and the whole operation was a sham, the guy seriously looked like he was being paid by TFC. 5 hours ago, Unnamed Trialist said: What a bunch of arrogant and self-serving garbage, Gian-Luca. You are basically saying that hey, if you slap these suckers around a bit, they work harder. And we can't accept that, because the call was a sham. Save it for the TFC fans "whine about the refs constantly" thread. 5 hours ago, Unnamed Trialist said: This is what I mean. Take it back to the TFC cesspool and leave this thread with a bit of decency, will you? 5 hours ago, Unnamed Trialist said: You can be facetious, but a team dragging their butts around the field disrespecting the Cup is NOT good style. Don't you see TFC were just mocking the Cup they way they played, it was a totally cynical performance. I, too, hate whiners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not often the term “moron” gets used by commentators on a soccer broadcast but the play in question was described as “moronic” during the halftime show by Kristian Jack, and it’s tough to argue against the term. I found it somewhat embarrassing that the two big gaffes in the Canadian Championship were both done by Canadian players. Still, there is another leg of potential redemption to go.

Arguably the two most skilled offensive plays (Osorio's finish, Teibert's lob to Hurtado) also came from Canadians, so let's call it even. We should just be happy there were some Canadians on the pitch. Vancouver even played more than the minimum. An improvement on years past (see linked twitter thread below, not just the first tweet).

Dub Narcotic Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I thought it was a red as well, studs went over the ball and caught Delgado. This particular one wasn't a nuclear bomb of a tackle but there's a reason this call is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soro17 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Felipe, Juarez and Techera can all get out of town on the next bus (if there are any buses left running). It was a stupid tackle by Felipe, but his reaction to it bothered me more. On another note, what the hell kind of shirt was Herdman wearing? Is Kristian Jack that tall, or is Herdman really under 5 ft tall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people realized this is exactly the kind of challenge that can lead to broken ankle/leg? If Delgado foot had been planted at the moment of impact, the picture of his leg would've been taken from the hospital. The point of contact is pretty high as well. And if you tell me that's a YC, that pretty much means every player on the field can make at least one tackle like that.... I understand fans frustration because of the importance of the game but it should be directed at Felipe, not the ref IMHO (for that play). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He never went for a foot, he played the ball. And got the ball, also getting the player, very slightly. Who was just fine 35 seconds later. You cannot make up this spin, really, especially from a fan base constantly bitching about being hard done by in MLS, pages and pages of it on the TFC thread. I mean, you actually convinced yourselves you were hard done by, after analysing the penalty given last MLS match vs. Atlanta. When it was clear, it looked, smelt and was a penalty, or at least there was no evidence it was not. It was more clearly a point to the spot situation than last night's tackle was a red card. My experience is that for all their silence and passivity, the Caps fan know their football and did not jeer the ref for 50 minutes for nothing, he was ridiculously bad for Caps.

Moldy9 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 When i heard there was controversy yet again in a Canadian Championship i wasn’t surprised to see it was DAVID GANTAR in control or lack thereof. DAVID GANTAR should not be allowed to ref. It’s apparent he’s horrible and bias. He always seems to be the person who ruins the match and always to the benefit of TFC - going 3 years straight. Just ask Patrice Bernier who got two reds. Let’s review: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Here’s another David Gantar classic from 2011: A TFC fan complains about Gantar in 2015 (1:00-2:15) and how Bradley got fined for voicing his disapproval of Gantar. This explains why eversince then Bradley gets what he wants when he and TFC crowd surf Gantar for a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moldy9 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 How can anyone explain David Gantar’s madness? How come every match he is involved in he effects the game? Is he bribed, seriously incompetent or was he bullied as a kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
