#TiFaux – Banner Contest Winner Announced
No we didn’t forget, just timing the jump. The results are in for the first ever (annual? did we exhaust all ideas?) Vocal Minority #BannerIdea contest. First things first, we would like to thank all of you who offered suggestions, as well as giving a hearty nod to the Columbus fans who managed to sneak their subversion into TFC’s official contest.

“Will BMO Field Break Or Bend?” – A Musical Tribute to Your Ignored Fears
“You know a sports and entertainment group with a Major League Soccer club is a little like the mule with the spinning wheel. No one knows how they got it, and danged if they know how to use it.” We know it’s a tough day in TFC Land. The breaking news that has, well, been breaking since 2006 was announced today and Reds’ supporters feel like their support is on borrowed time. Many of us have different levels of...

THE STARTING 11: Headlines MLSE Will Use To Make Argos To BMO Seem Positive
The day that none of us have been waiting for since 2007 seems likely to be confirmed any moment now (if it hasn’t already by time you read this). BMO Field, Canada’s first “soccer specific” stadium will soon be downgraded to a “soccer first” stadium and then, sometime in the summer of 2016, a “kinda, maybe, sorta also soccer stadium” once the Toronto Argonauts are gleefully invited in...
