  • Vocal Minority Fantasy league: The Minorityship. Join now.

    Yes, it’s that time again. With the start of the season a week ago, the fantasy competition has also sputtered back into life.  There’s changes, mainly only a 16 player squad rather than 18, and the scoring has changed somehow but I haven’t bothered looking to figure that out. Anyway, doing the whole fantasy team…

  • THE STARTING 11: Things That May Be “Coming” to TFC

    Oh the Toronto Eff Cees, you do like to write your own jokes don’t you? In a poor piece of PR judgement, The Reds decided to tease a big “release” this Tuesday with a short video titled “It’s Coming”. This is a serious football website so we won’t pick off the low hanging fruit. Pervs.…

  • THE STARTING 11: Features On The New TFC Away Kit

    What a load of shirt! It’s that time of year again when MLS clubs unveil the hottest new looks in North American soccer haute couture. It’s like being at a fancy Paris design house – but with more offsides. Many teams have released their new looks as seen here, here and also here – but…

    In their latest charm offensive to the soccer-lovers in their extended family, MLSE went out of their way to soothe a major fear this week – the BMO Field pitch.

  • THE STARTING 11: Other TFC # 1 Needs

    Clint Eastwood! That guy’s famous! Clint Irwin is MLS famous so that’s cool too. Just when the search for a # 1 goalkeeper started getting hand-wringingly anxious, TFC pulled off a sweet little deal that saw Mr. Irwin take his place in The Reds’ goal. A good deal in most eyes but while this “#…

  • Episode 121 – 16-01-19 #Stingray

    Well, there was the draft, and Tsubasa Endoh is a malarkey rich name, but what the hell else were we going to talk about? Then TFC came through us for again with the signing of Clint Irwin just hours before recording time, so we talked about that too, as well as random rumours and other…

  • THE STARTING 11: Ways TFC is Turning Japanese

    In the slightly re-arranged words of 80’s “supergroup” The Vapors: “They’re turning Japanese, we think they’re turning Japanese, at least we hope so”. Okay, TFC may not be fully embracing the Land of The Rising Sun quite yet but the 1st Round SuperDrafting of Japan’s own Tsubasa Endoh was manna from podcasting/punning heaven. While the…

  • TFC draft Tsubasa Endoh! Podcasters rejoice.

    SuperDraft Day! Feel the exciteMent. Compared to previous years, this looked to be a pretty dull one for TFC. No recent trades or signing buzz (though the waiving of Ahmed Kantari certainly counts as addition by subtraction) and only one pick in the first two rounds, and that wasn’t even the traditional early pick what with…
