    Episode 106 – 15/09/23 #oinkMeansOink

    Most of the gang is here again and they review the duldrum that was NYCFC, review the excitement that was the Colorado match, look ahead to the visit with Chicago, and the usual stuff. In this episode, Duncan gets the knives out for Colorado, Mark talks about cutting air and Tony slices up some pizza…

  • 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)…

    Episode 104 – 15/09/09 #fannyGoodness

    The gang endures the Labour Day heat (at the time of recording) to review Seattle and the first leg of Canada v Belize, and preview this weekend’s match against the Tea Terrorists. In this episode Mark can’t be a neutral, Kristin struggles to find something nice to say about Issey, Duncan hands out his podcast…

  • 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…

    This episode the gang suffers from the heat and humidity to talk crazy over the Montreal game, looking ahead to the World Cup Qualifier and the Seattle matches this weekend. In this episode Mark brings us a snippet of nature documentaries, Kristin gives advice when dealing with the national team gaffer, Duncan informs us which…

  • 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…

    Episode 102 – 15/08/26 #synonymToastCrunch

    The gang is in full attendance for this recording (though not necessarily for the game) as they review the thrashing of Orlando, talk about Voyageurs Cup, and some CNE malarkey. In this episode, Kristin breaks Tony with an engineering conundrum of a culinary proportions, Duncan confuses his lions and Mark laments the lack of Vic…

  • 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.…

  • VMP Records Presents: “Cog Rats” by Young Tucci

    While a disaster on the pitch, the Sporting KC game produced what could only be described as a series of deranged ideas that we followed like a podcasting verion of Alice down a rabbit hole of insanity.  It all began as a hilarious series of big screen typos and names, and then quickly morphed into…
