The blood sucking corporation that owns Toronto FC decided to bring in Real Madrid this summer for a mid-season friendly. Besides the absolute idiocy of holding a mid season friendly, they now want to charge me 50% of my season ticket price for watching this farce. How does my seat, which was worth $25 on Saturday, suddenly become worth $150?
Corporate greed. My blood is boiling.

Have done. In fact my supporters group walked out at kickoff of Saturday's game in protest. Local media will be running the story on Wednesday.
We've been asking for real grass for 3 years. Corporation won't pay for it. But they are paying $250,000 to put real grass over our Field Turf for the RM game to make the Galacticos happy. As well as paying them $1m for showing up.

Why not? Gets bums on seats as it were, won't be a full 90 minutes but I'd imagine they'd drag him along.
I remember when Mo Johnston was (or still is) working for Toronto he tried to sign a few players from Scotland, including John Kennedy from Celtic who's had a couple of really serious knee injuries. None of them wanted to risk playing on that artificial pitch.
A team over here had it for a year and it got booted pretty quickly too.

You could have got Leeds United for that, and we would have played our full first team for 90 minutes

If you go to any good five a side all weather centre they will tell you that the astro turf they use is the same as in Real Madrid's training ground.
It's that fact that has made this particular type of artificial turf 'famous'.
So putting down grass to please them at that sort of cost is a farce.
RE: Things that make your blood boil -

We've still got Mo. And we're doing our best to get him fired.

After a call to Xbox customer support, it appears that I can't get my 360 repaired and that the guy who sold it to me is a lying cunt. He even lied about a close friend dieing and giving him the Xbox, him never playing it. Turns out he's owned it for a while and has sent it to be repaired twice right before he put it up on ebay, the second time they refused to fix it. Fucking livid.
edit: I seriously can't get over the whole friend dieing thing just to make a few quid.
