Kit Nerd Corner : The 2016 Kittie Awards!
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. I love awards. In fact, my favourite type of awards are about niche topics from unofficial sources written by someone who has a horse so high, it’s a struggle to get on it at all, so I’m doing this for me, and you can choose to…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #1: Jozy Altidore
Mark: 1 – Quite the tale of two halves and I’m a sucker for a redemption story. On May 15th, a game against Vancouver, the version of Jozy Altidore, the one that was brutal and had the “press” coming to his defense, hit a new low. Perhaps even a bottom. Goal drought, down by two, gets…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #8: Jonathan Osorio
Mark: 8 – One. Touch. Legend. Osorio had a mid-season epiphany that seemed to be documented by the Vocal Minority. Earlier on in the season, he had a habit of making several touches before attempting to shoot the ball. Sometimes, it was having to beat EVERYONE before attempting the shot. Others, it was needing to settle…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #12: Nick Hagglund
Mark: 18 – Fell to obscurity and then fought back into the starting eleven right at the end of the season. They haven’t quite beat the forward out of him and I’m perfectly fine with that. Ah, Nick “The Salmon” Hagglund. The defender who thought he might be a forward, then had that beaten out of…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #16 – Marky Delgado
Mark: 13 – Inconsistent. Some games he looked great, others pedestrian. Is he going to be a starter? He is. No wait, he’s not, but he is. We’ll say a mix of beneficiary of injuries and a victim of the rotation but by the end of the season, he was often one of the first sacrifices…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #26: Raheem Edwards
Mark: 26 – I will treasure all of his contributions this year. Six minutes. Raheem Edwards made his debut for Toronto FC in a Voyageurs Cup match against Vancouver, coming on for Osorio in the 86th minute in late June. He followed that performance by making his league debut in an 88th minute substitution coming…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #27: Brian James
Mark: 27 – I will treasure all of his contributions this season. Brian James made his debut for Toronto FC in the Voyageurs Cup replacing Dan Lovitz in a game against Montreal and contributed six minutes. Thank you Wikipedia. Six whole minutes. That’s nearly 360 seconds, if my math is correct. The 80th pick overall…
