Revolution fans forcibly removed from Gillette for cursing out opposing goalie

Management got fed up with fans in one section constantly yelling "You suck, asshole!" at opposing goalies, so when it happened again on Saturday, security descended on the section and just began pulling and pushing fans out. Two were actually arrested; 20 were banned from the stadium.

Imagine if the Red Sox tried that during a Yankees game.

Twellman's season over; Revolution limping into MLS playoffs

New England Revolution striker Taylor Twellman is out for the remainder of the season with "concussion related problems."

So the Revolution look to take on arch-rival Chicago Fire Thursday night at Foxboro without:

Taylor Twellman
Adam Cristman
Khano Smith
Steve Ralston
Gabriel Badilla

The bad luck just goes on and on for this team. At least they won't lose the MLS Cup Final AGAIN because they'll be lucky if they get out of the first round.

Kraft pitches new soccer pitch study for East Somerville

The Kraft Group would like to move the popular New England MLS franchise, The Revolution, to a new, smaller, soccer stadium in East Somerville. This has worked well for other MLS teams and the location is already under consideration for development as part of the Green Line expansion and repair yard by MBTA officials.

Kraft funded a $150,000 study in June to develop working ideas for the site after contacting the city of Somerville one year ago about where it might be able to locate such a stadium near the largely immigrant populations of Boston that might be some of the team and venue's biggest fans.

One idea to come from the study is to combine the Green Line extension and stadium by placing the stadium in the "air rights" above the proposed repair yard.

Revolution in Somerville?

No, nobody's planning a coup against Mayor Joe (that we know of). The New England Revolution is looking at the city as possible home for a new stadium.

Dave Bonner: A quick reminder to everyone that we have a soccer team we should be cheering for:

... A really, really good one. The Revolution are playing DC United in the Eastern Conference Championship game this Sunday at 4. ...
