Not really. He's probably right.

The Telling Statement...

The two veteran central midfielders were two big reasons β€” both in different ways


Yes as the article goes on to say Gregor contributed and O'Brien wasn't there to screw things up!

Oh, wait... now I am being bitter...CRAP!

You know it feels good to know that we have been a success in the community and are on the road to success in the league, you know, getting a new stadium - in our first 2 years, beating you in our first home game, seeing the way our avergae of nearly 20,000 fans welcomes those from other cities - as opposed to throwing beer at children and swearing at them, (and yes some of those numbers can be attributed to having a USA game here - jealousy will get you no where that they won't use your ground - having a game like that with 26 people wathing would suck), RSL has a list of top class players that are asking to come to RSL - and I'm sure we'll be adding some.

Of course it must be tough for you since you're still in developmental mode. I mean without us you'd be at the bottom ... again ... cause it's how many years now that you've sucked?

Actually the C-Rapids were really good last year, playing HankiBall (praise Joe Cannon).

However they had the "Deer-in-the-Headlights" effect in the playoffs and the Gals rolled them.

How many things are wrong in this post...

"on the road to success in the league" - Yeah, as Chivas passes you in the standings

"getting a new stadium" - Have the location yet? Funding? Broken ground? Talk to me when you do, because the Rapids have one being built. And it only took us 2 seasons once we got our own I/O and stopped being AEG's red-headed stepchild

"beating you in our first home game" - Again, I've never once claimed I was surprised by this, it's the same way the Rapids always win on the 4th of July, regardless of how bad we are. How did you do in your next 2 games against us? Thought so...

"opposed to throwing beer at children and swearing at them" - You don't have a single bad apple in those 20,000 fans? Wow, must be nice to live in utopia, tell us, what's the secret? If you'll notice both in the Loyalist forum here and in the Rapids forum on BigSoccer multiple Rapids fans have come out and condemmed the beer throwing and swearing at children. Swearing at the adults though, well, you'll just have to get used to that...

"jealousy will get you no where that they won't use your ground" - You mean like they way they played in Denver multiple times in past years? When we had 48.5K for Mexico in 2002? Sorry, no jealousy here. Once Commerce City opens, we'll see the Nats again. When is your stadium opening again?

"RSL has a list of top class players that are asking to come to RSL" -HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wait, you were serious? Yeah, those top class players like Gregario, Trembly, and Cila, boy, I wish we could have had them. Oh, wait.... Meanwhile we've had 3 MVP finalists in the last 3 years (Cannon, Chung, and Spencer)

"I mean without us you'd be at the bottom ... again" - Check the standings again. We need Dallas to not win 1 of their last 3, and we control our own destiny in getting home field in the first round.

Nice try though, next time maybe you should get some facts straight. Don't worry, though, we'll keep the Rocky Mountain Cup in good condition for when you finally win it, in 2012 or so...

Funny! you say check your facts... but then spew out half truths and un-facts... reminds of a current politician who shall remain nameless.
1) first one that jumps out is Chivas passing us in the standings. I say show me any legitimate standings that show Chivas passing us!
2) I suppose if you forget the first 8 seasons of the cRapids existence(and who wouldn't want to forget?) you could truthfully say that cRapids have only taken two seasons to get a stadium.
3) you lost the first match because your team sucks not because you believed it would happen.
4) Yes we do have bad apples in our group... so I advise you all to bring ponchos cos you never know... πŸ˜‰
Just for the record! Swearing at adults in front of children is EXACTLY the same as swearing at children... So I don't have to get used to anything... you need to watch your f'king mouth around my kids. So there!
5) Jealousy? Yes that is what i would call it. 48.5K fans against mexico and 48K were there for Mexico cos Colorado could not fill a high school stand with out free stuff or fireworks.
6) Top players... Yes! wait and see... then you will eat those words.
7) how many times have you not been in the playoffs? Seriously I would check but I really don't care.

And last but not least.... Don't get too ****y about the RMC cos until it is in your trophy case it has just as much chance of being in ours! you have not won it yet... and you have not won in our house... so come on over...

I will not say all of this post is fact because I add my own bias... so don't come here and spout your trash talk and proclaim it to be fact... cos like any good argument there are 3 sides... your side, my side and the truth

The irony of a bitter crapids fan spouting off in a thread about being bitter is just way too awesome, seriously...

1) I said as Chivas is passing you, not that they have yet. Is there not a thread on this very forum wondering if FSL will finish in last place?
2) I believe I said "And it only took us 2 seasons once we got our own I/O and stopped being AEG's red-headed stepchild" so I clearly acknoledge the first 8 seasons, but circumstances were different, both with the team and the league. And once again, where is your stadium going to be, how is it funded, when do you break ground?
3) Whatever, scoreboard still shows 2W 1L for the Rapids...
4) I never defended swearing in front of children, nor would I. However I see nothing wrong with adult rival fans swearing at each other in good fun, you bunch of wankers πŸ˜‰
5) Desperate repsonse. Now we have to determine who's rooting for who? 48K is 48K paying tickets, who cares who their rooting for.
6) Weak...
7) The Rapids have made the playoffs 8 of 10 seasons (Missing in 1996 and 2001). But according to FSL fans we finish at the bottom "all the time" and would do so again this year, even though we have a decent chance of finishing second...

As for the RMC having just as much of a chance of being in your trophy case. Let's take a look at that shall we. You need to do something you've only done twice all season, win by 2 goals. Oh, and you have to keep us from scoring twice while doing it. 19 out of 28 games this season you've given up 2 goals. Meanwhile all the Rapids have to do is not lose by 2, or score 2 and not lose by 3. They've done that only 4 times in 28 games. So no, in no way are the chances of you winning the RMC equal. The advantage is clearly with the Rapids.

Facts suck, don't they?
