The South Couch Report : Dallas v Toronto

The Part I Write Before The Match : I have to believe that this is the game where we come back down to reality.  I’m not saying that it’s the match where they get hammered into dust, just, you know, lose.  It’s more playing the numbers and the odds rather than a pessimism towards Toronto. The mighty robins are without Beitashour with an injury to his pancreas, which boggles my mind, horrifies me and the internal struggle about making...

The South Stand Report : Toronto v New England

The Part I Write Before The Match : It’s Pride night.  Still hoping that it’s more than patronizing than the usual ‘theme pandering night’ that takes place. Today has been crap already. It’s humid. It’s raining (as of time of writing this part). There’s an 8pm kick-off. Sucky day so far (with the exception of the new 311 album  [Not the time or place. ~ Ed.] which is very good if you like your rock a bit reggae-ish...

On to the Match : 3’ – Rowe has a go forcing Bono to make a lunging save low and to his right. 4’ – was there foreshadowing for the game by blaming the turf so early? 6’ – Vazquez gets on the...

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Ottawa

The Part I Write Before The Match : OK, so the last time we played Ottawa, they won.  They shouldn’t have, on paper, but they did on turf and deservedly so.  The mighty Robins bounced back considerably after that performance and showed some of that #deepestDepthEver that we’ve been hearing about, given that they looked not ready for prime time after last Tuesday. Ottawa took their victory for their own momentum and smashed five in of...

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus

The Part I Write Before The Match : So last time we played Columbus, I was very concerned about a kid named Hansen who burned Toronto for a pair of pretty passes.  Last game he didn’t do much, however… I don’t trust him.  That being said, Justin Meram is playing well. Let’s be honest, Columbus has a ton of good players (and I don’t subscribe to the bullshit rivalry, so don’t even) and the threats can come from a multitude of...
