What does Mark Messier have to do with this?
wrong....lets not make a mistake here.....some....err, many were absolutely thrilled about this game.....hopefully the tune will change.....
Excuse me...what a lot of us were saying. I personally have been consistent, this is a travesty.
here's hoping that TFC management doesn't give him shit for speaking his mind
That's excellent news. Also +1 to Redcoat's song.
so have I....I feel the same.....good on DeRo
Absolutely agree with DeRo.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Just to clarify DeRo's stand: it seems he's (rightfully) upset about the temporary turf, but not about the RM game. Check this, last paragraph: http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2009/...nto_fc_galaxy/
If Dero was a woman....well....I'd...
Btw, I cant help but think that Dero's frustration level might reach a point of no return. This guy is an asset that any team would want...he might be shipped out if he speaks out too much. Talk about a revolt if that happened but I would not be shocked.
We should start throwing grass seeds or even nice chucks of sod.
Personally after all the hype and not much to show for it, let him go.
Fantastic! I'm pleased, but not surprised whatsoever that he's come out and said this.
In Dero We Trust!!
Hey man, DeRo may be a hit with the ladies, but he'd be one of the ugliest women alive.
I wouldnt....
I think you'd be a lovely woman...
DeRo showing some leadership here. lol
DeRo for captain.
I'd be the hottest dyke in town!
MLSE are just cunts plain and simple. They wont spend a dime unless it makes them a dollar.
fixed
Maybe this is part of the dance. MLSE, PB know we need grass. Has the city approved a permanent change? Are they expediting the locating of an alternate facility for community use, or are they putting up road blocks?
It's not like the team doesn't want grass for MLS games, but temporary grass isn't in the cards from April to October, so they need a plan B. And whether we like it or not, the RM 'package' (temp grass + ? prices + ? TV rights + move regular game = ???) is a separate decision, and I'm sure it does not need the approval of Mayor Miller and his band of merry men.
Dero is saying just what i was thinking when i herd about this Real Madrid bull shit!!!!
DeRo is smart. He knows the supporters agree with him on the grass issue. MLSE/MLS would be silly to take out on him for speaking the truth like this.
DeRo, I know you read these boards. Don't worry we got your back boi!
Every last player on the squad needs to back him up on this.
The Coaching staff should speak their minds too.
ya ive onlly ever herd DeRo and Carver bring up the grass issues. I would really like to see more players come forward, and it makes me SOOOO mad knowing they will give Real Madrid grass in a heart beat but not give TFC grass!
i was a DeRo critic for the first 8-9games but lately he has shown the talent he has...lets hold on to him and maybe get players to work with him.
man to many people on these boards complain about are players. Trade this guy, trade that guy, shoot this guy, its crazy most people give a player 1 game to prove themself and if they dont score every game get rid of them.
One problem we have had is players constently comming and going, we gotta build a team.
HUH?!? DERO has been one of our best players this season.
De Ro 3:14 says; "GIVE ME GOD DAMN GRASS"

Here is what i dont understand about all this protesting
First we need to make it clear, if ML$E was given the go ahead for grass they would have it in tommorow, they need the City of Toronto's approval
Why does the City of Toronot not allow grass?
-they have invested millions apon millions in the facility, and it is to be made available for public use
How does MLSE convince the City to allow grass?
-Give the public somewhere else to play
How does MLSE give the public somewhere else to play?
-build a public use facility
Why doesnt MLSE buck up, and pay for a new facility?
-Shareholders will not approve of a massive capital investment unless MLSE can prove there is an increase in revenue streams
How does MLSE increase revenue streams?
-sign a few freindlies with teams that will only play on grass, and state at the next shareholders meeting, we made XXX dollars from a game on grass, and a new facility will cost XXXX, so if we pay to have a new public facility and put in grass, it will take XX freindlies to pay it off
So by boycotting, you are actually making it more difficult for MLSE to negotiate a deal with the shareholders to install grass...
I totally agree that it sucks to pay more of our hard earned $$$ to MLSE, but from a business perspective, this is what they are trying to achive
