The post-game garbage throwing by Ottawa Fury FC supporters at opposition players last weekend didn't sit well with the club.

After Minnesota United FC's Daniel Mendes scored the winning goal in the final minute of Saturday's 2-1 Fury loss, Mendes ripped his shirt off in celebration and proceeded to celebrate in front of Section W, the official Fury supporters' section at TD Place. Mendes' teammates followed suit and several fans responded by throwing items -- including several empty water bottles -- at the Minnesota players. Though taunting the other team's supporters, especially at home, is considered offside, the behaviour wasn't condoned by Fury FC.

In an open letter to supporters, Fury captain Richie Ryan thanked fans for coming out in numbers and their continued support, but said there are better ways of responding to a loss.

"While the lads and I are still gutted from the loss, we were blown away by the crowd and the atmosphere -- the best we've yet to see at TD Place. We felt your passion and enthusiasm," the captain began. "Following the Minnesota goal and the celebration in front of our fans, there were objects thrown onto the pitch and at the Minnesota players. This is dangerous and disrespectful. We are better than that. The best way to get over a loss is to win the next battle."

While there was some concern the team could be fined as a result of the display, that doesn't seem to be forthcoming and the team wants to move past both the incident and the loss, which ended Fury's near-record 12-game unbeaten streak. Ottawa remains in top spot on the NASL's fall season table and has its eye on the club's first-ever playoff berth with 12 games left on the schedule.

The club also announced a two-for-one ticket offer this week, in which a ticket purchased for Wednesday's game against the New York Cosmos includes free entry to Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
