El Matador, FCD's Latino SG, banned for six games because of smoke bomb.

 

Straight from the mouth of one of El Matador's leaders, they were banned for six games just for setting off one smoke bomb during the CONCACAF CL game against Toronto. Shortly afterwards they were pressed upon by security and police, stating they were trying to 'incite a riot'.

Now, I don't know how some see this situation but I personally feel this a severe failure by the FCD FO. While I know 'incendiary' devices are banned, I feel banning an entire group six game, just before playoffs start, is probably one of the dumbest things that can be done. Especially considering it was just a harmless smoke bomb, I mean just look at a Chicago game and their wall of flares, or when DC United scored against Chicago and multiple went off without and incedent.

Well, that's just my two cents. Think it's a damn fool of a ruling.

Just plain dumb, on whoever set it off… on a game we got our asses kicked and on the FO for a ban heading into the playoffs. Mata are certainly some of the more loyal fans we’ve got and next to Inferno, the loudest probably… Hard to tell seeing as how they sit together 99% of the time.

I do have to say, there was only like 8 of them there for that game, I was actually in sect 118 on the front row, they were in 117 or 116.

There’s no way a riot would come of the 3500 or so people at the game… and honestly. There’s probably no safer time than that game to set off the smoke bomb, Mata group were the only people in that section!!!!

Dumb

Dumb all around. EM should have realized that it would happen as they were standing by themselves in that section. Dumb of FCD to ban supporters going into playoffs. Dumb of EM to break the rules that everyone has to go by. Dumb of Frisco to have that rule. Just plain dumb all around.
