South Couch Report – Montreal v Toronto (Playoff Edition)
Guys, we’re finally gonna do it! Now that we’re about to lose our #playoffVirginity, let’s hope they shoot early, and often. Let’s not let anyone go home disappointed. Years of mediocrity culminates to a one-off game at Montreal midweek. OHMYGODJUSTSTARTALREDY… At least Vic Rauter is there working the sidelines. Voice like butter. Like triple churned…

South Barstool Report – Montreal v Toronto
Decision Day. I appreciate the hype, but this feels like going to a chain restaurant, and being told to get excited about the appetizers. Sorry, I don’t care if you’re branding it Zesty Jally Bites, it’s still going to be a jalapeno popper. To make it clear, play-offs are the main course, this is just…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Columbus
Did you get your season’s ticket renewal notice? You should have. It was sent out before the ink dried on the newspapers. Sorry, newspapers are those things that old people read because they don’t believe in the internet and throw it out at the end of the day. Where was I? Playoffs! Isn’t it magical? …

South Stand Report : Toronto v Chicago
Umbrella, poncho, back up poncho, wellies, goggles, water wings, I think I’m ready. It’s supposed to be gorgeous out there today, sunny, warm enough, and playing a weak Chicago side. Toronto is in the midst of rather the homestand and started off right with the defeat of buttery Sweden, erm, Colorado, 3-1 in the midst…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Colorado
Damn I hate the rain. I’m on the GO writing this portion of the report and it just started spitting. Sometimes, just sometimes, it’s just too far to come to stand and get soaked. If I lived closer, less of complaint. Anyways. #preGameRanting Today is armed forces appreciation day. It’s the time of year where…

South Couch Report : New York City v Toronto
I go away for one weekend, and Tony’s Tea Terrorists (or 3TFC from now on? We’ll think about it…) come in and get slaughtered by Toronto and win 3-1 (I think that’s how I read it). Yup, narriative. Sure, I went to New England (you know, ALL of it, and not just central New Hampshire)…

South Couch Report : Seattle v Toronto
Missing ten starters, including six defenders. 3-4-3 formation. Dempsey is healthy. This will be an adventure in patience or a test of masochistic limitations. On to the match : 1′ – Of course the wife calls. 10pm on a Saturday night. 6′ – GOAL – Well that’s probably the game winner. Dempsey pops the ball…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal
The magic of the Ex. What used to be a cultural festival and a major part of any calendar is just an endless advertising festival. Good thing I can escape it and find refuge in BMO Field where the ball is brought to me by a shipping company, the bench is brought to me by…

South Couch Report – Toronto v Orlando
Well well well, look who’s on the bench. Much to my surprise (yay!) is Jozy Altidore and (whuh?) Joe Bendik. One of these makes complete sense, and the other is Joe Bendik. He’s been hung out to dry over the last few games, and surely he can’t be held responsible? But what do I know.…

South Barstool Report : New York Red Bulls v Toronto
Welcome to the annual #VMPissUp as we are #DrinkingWithKristin in an unnamed pub somewhere in hot and humid Toronto. Joined by such luminaries as @grawsee, @bigwulliestyle and @redwineroz for this event, the drinks were cold and the football was lacklustre… unless you were pulling for the opposition, in which case, it was glorious. Celebrating VMP…
