I was wrong.
I was wrong. There, I said it. It’s been a generally good season, a great playoff run, and probably the most dramatic 2 legged series I’ve ever seen, certainly the best I’ve attended, so it may be time to let go of some of my long held beliefs about many people and things in TFC land. Here we go. Deep breath. Greg Vanney: I didn’t really feel like Ryan Nelsen needed to be fired so was ambivalent about Vanney...
Feeling warm and fuzzy? Surprise, here’s TFC and MLS to take care of that for you.
So, Wednesday night was awesome, the playoffs have been great, hell most of the season has been very very good on the pitch. Even off the pitch, things are much better, there’s very few really annoying decisions, playoff pricing and season seat renewal were reasonable, they took the Voyageurs Cup seriously, didn’t play a friendly, so many good solid sensible decisions from TFC, and also much less hype and wow aren’t...
Toronto FC 5: 2 Montreal Impact. The South Stand Report 2: The reportening!
I’m a bit too stunned from it all still to put this together into any kind of well crafted narrative, so instead here’s a more or less chronological word vomit on my thoughts and feeling around an absolutely fucking ridiculous game. Mark’s report started with “I’m not about to write anything you haven’t already heard or don’t already know.” That’s pretty much all this is, but hopefully you’re...
The South Couch report: Montreal vs Toronto, 1st leg.
So, a couple of weeks back, in the podcast we wondered what other events might cause a scheduling conflict at the big O. One of the options put out was ‘Just for Laughs gags. Live!’ Guess what we got today at ‘the Big D’Oh’ (TM Vic Rauter). Yes, with the game just a few minutes away from starting, it was eventually noticed that ‘Oh ho ho, we have fooled you, the lines of the penalty box are painted...
The South Stand Report: Toronto FC 1:1 Philadelphia Union.
I took the Dufferin bus down to the game. It’s occasionally annoying, but generally pretty reliable and ever since they dug the little tunnel under the railway tracks at Queen, it’s been a decent way to get to BMO Field. Apparently they’re now doing construction on that underpass and so the road’s closed, and so the traffic was terrible and it took forever for the bus to get around it via Gladstone to get back...
