TFC edge out the Revs

Scotty's ViewFromTheSouthStands at Toronto FC

After a good road win in Philadelphia in week 1 and no game in week two it was back to business this week with the home opener against New England Revolution. The Revs have stuttered out of the gate this season drawing 1-1 in Dallas on week 1 and then losing to Columbus last week in their own home opener but its early days.

This fixture has gone the way of the home team for the last six games and you have to go back to 2015 to find an away win so hopes were high. The rumoured return of Jozy Altidore to the squad and the imminent arrival of Alejandro Pozuelo also helped buoy the mood and clear the gloom that was the Concacaf Champions League exit at the first hurdle.

      Aaron Doran Testimonial v Ross County

      What’s your issue with the bar? Prices have been frozen at last season’s prices with a pint £5 which is a lot less than you will pay for the same beer elsewhere in the area.

      Aaron Doran Testimonial v Ross County

      Great that Aaron got the send off he deserved. A decent crowd and a couple of good goals from County, especially the second. They didn’t look that good ( other than Hale), but we were not at it at all. I know it’s still pre season, but that was not a team that looked anywhere near good enough to be competitive at the top of league 1. The weather was good and overall I enjoyed the game, but same old poor matchday experience, long queues at the kiosks, over priced bar 94 and poor stewarding!!!! Some things will never change. ☹️

      Aaron Doran Testimonial v Ross County

      An enjoyable occasion, and if someone had been able to capitalise on the two great scoring opportunities in the first 5 minutes, the score would have been more to my liking. Suicidal passing in front of our goal presented County with their two goals, there are times when you need to just blooter the ball up the park rather than smarta**e tippy-tappy. Just a bit too casual sometimes. However, it was all about Aaron Doran and today's attendance was better than many of the league games last season - a mark of the esteem in which the man is held. An afternoon well spent!

      Someone in the bar after the game said that Ross County only agreed to the game on the basis it was played as a competitive friendly so I think they played it very differently than we did. I agree with Robert's assessment and as painful as it is I try to keep in mind that we're currently a league 1 club that's rebuilding on and iff the park. As others have said the online ticketing system is painful to use and I also resorted to phone. A stark contrast to the simplicity of buying tickets for Clach and others during pre season. All in all it was still an enjoyable few hours in honour of a great player who still looks like he'd be worth having on the books.

      They were throwing stones at some of our fans before kick off too and quite a number of Police Officers were in attendance at full time to ensure there was no further trouble and they ushered the young idiots away from the Stadium. Credit to our younger fans for not responding in kind, although it could have turned a bit nasty had the Police not been there. Totally unnecessary and it could easily have marred Aaron’s day but fortunately it didn’t.
