That wasn't off side?  Woof, THAT was a close one.

Let's play.  Next goal wins!

That was my thought. VAR might have been interesting, if it was being used.

Don't follow MLS but Geezus, Ritchie is a stand out on that pitch.

Man they are ripping JMR for the (lack of) effort on that goal

Edit- wrong play

Back heel to the nuts LOL

Richie with a great header. Not sure how that isn’t a pen. 

[Big_M]

much better second half for tfc...now just gotta find 1-2 goals and not concede

[Cheeta]

Oh you lucky bugger!

[canuckgbp]

Another missed PK call this time in Toronto’s favour. 

[Shway]

Insigne is so wasteful. This guy is beyond overpaid.

Bern too has given the ball away a ton of times.

Oh yeah, and he has no right foot whatsoever.

leave mabika up and pump balls in the box

Big win for CFM.  TFC picked up their level of effort a lot in the second half but over 90 minutes Montreal deserved the win.   

[Cadeau]

Tfc is absent most of the time…can’t string two consecutive passes in a row, time for a coaching change.

Kaye & fans going at each other.

"Football without ultras is nothing". Or something like that?

What garbage.

That is very ugly, these things usually don't end well unless the team starts winning a bunch of matches which doesn't look likely! The megaphone thrower will be banned which will create more drama in the South End!

[Gian-Luca]

Tough to win games with no midfield, and now it looks like Kaye may have to play CB as he did at the end of this game, which will make things worse. They'll be recalling Luke Singh at this rate

[Acid-Tone]

Full credit to Montreal, but that was a shameful performance from the home side.  On the pitch, I mean, even before all the post match trash.  Really, it was shit play punctuated by terrible mannerism's all night from guys who are supposed to be the leaders out there.

And just to add context:

TFC wage bill: 27 million   CF Montreal wage bill: 6.6 million

 

got those numbers from here

What the actual fu'k?

I mean, I have a pretty rough day down at the shop more days than I'd care for but it's rarely that bad.  Rarely. 

[Kingston]

That is a low point for the season.  Losing at home to our rival in such an important match.  Plus the not actually soccer stuff.

WINNER WINNER chicken dinner.  You called it, pretty much the A squad.  

At least the A squad that was available.  I would have loved for Osorio to be there as he always comes up big for the Canadian Championship.
