Last night was a step backwards but hey, it happens. Even the best teams in the world lose 3 nil once in a while.<br /><br />There are those out there who are already calling for Winter's ouster, a line of thinking too difficult to comprehend, but progress is progress and I look forward to seeing continuing improvements as this year goes on.<br /><br />Nobody said this was going to be easy.David Baileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824789.post-68957618044672095492011-04-15T18:11:18.755-04:002011-04-15T18:11:18.755-04:00Since MLSE controls most of the media in Toronto, ...Since MLSE controls most of the media in Toronto, TFC has been treated with kid gloves for the best few years.Real fans could see that the Rose was off the bud for TFC last year, empty seats everywhere, you could not give tickets away, and now we have the 2 for one deals and free TFC tickets at all these discount ticket places, when you buy a large pizza or something like that. TFC is in 5th place in TO regarding TV ratings and their not getting any better. It's funny since the Raptors fan base is also very low and their TV ratings suck to, but the media won't comment on that eitherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824789.post-74666562852115947092011-04-15T13:02:40.719-04:002011-04-15T13:02:40.719-04:00Was the writer of this article really at the LA ga...Was the writer of this article really at the LA game? If so, did the writer actually watch the game and not his/her handheld device during it? After 10 minutes of the game, it was quite obvious that Winter tactically fielded a team to get a point. After all, we were playing last year's finalists who so happen to be still a very strong team. Remember how many goals were let in during the last 10 minutes of previous seasons? Most true football fans know that the turnaround of a team's fortunes is not overnight. Note well that we have a much better team than last year and are actually playing more attractive football with even some of last year's derided players. These players are playing much better now thanks to the new management team, a momentous task that requires subtle interaction skills to elevate players, previously working under the previous poisonous regime, to their best capabilities. How many times have TFC missed the playoffs by just a couple of points or even just goal difference? The new management is not only bringing a "winning" attitude to the club, but a positive one too, even if that means getting a single point. Writers of articles such as this ill-informed one should do the same or find something else to write about that they understand and appreciate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866964087076290870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824789.post-64748199930230874022011-04-15T10:06:16.398-04:002011-04-15T10:06:16.398-04:00Rabid fan here, just wanted to say I'm behind ...Rabid fan here, just wanted to say I'm behind Winter 100%. And the sentiment is shared across the board. I'm not sure who it is that you are referring to in the second paragraph, but it doesn't represent any fan I know.<br />And the LA game was not poorly played.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13360511580259262672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17824789.post-9039671199556341742011-04-14T19:09:03.835-04:002011-04-14T19:09:03.835-04:00While it's true that many fans and supporters ...While it's true that many fans and supporters have either given up or are dangerously close to giving up on TFC's ownership, I think many of us have absolutely no problem with giving Winter and his crew a season or two to turn things around. More than anything, we're aware that rebuilding this club won't happen over the course of one or two months, and therefore generally agree that Winter should be cut the appropriate slack.<br /><br />Simply put, most fans and supporters have much of our criticism reserved for MLSE and the decisions made by the executive board, not Winter and his staff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
