The South Stand Report : Toronto v. San Jose
What a week. Controversy, DeRo retiring formally (and properly), FIFA corruption, multiple exhibitions, and to come down from an exciting week of Football… Toronto v. San Jose. Muggy. In a lightning storm. A strong argument could’ve been made to stay home. Hell, a weak one could’ve been successful as well. But no, as a junkie,…

Episode 88 – 15/05/26 #SonOfAPitch
Well, it was bound to happen. The gang gets wrapped up in one topic so long that it just becomes it’s own episode. And striking while the iron is hot, here’s our discussion on the current dramas at BMO Field. Tune in later this week, for the regular episode with the usual malarky. Click here…

South Stand Report : Toronto v. Portland
What a week. Full of emotions, frustrations and secretive deals and negotiations, years of broken promises, misleading statements, and it finally came to a head. The Leafs signed Babcock. Kidding, fuck the Leafs. Pointyball is getting shoehorned into our once soccer specific stadium. (seriously, fuck them) So now that that dog and pony show has…

The one where the mighty Robins go for the only meaningful piece of hardware they’re likely to win any season, and it’s one we at the Vocal Minority cherish – The Voyageurs Cup.

This week’s…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Houston
Fucking finally. I mean c’mon. This has taken forever it seems. The club made for parody/television that is Toronto FC has its home opener on mother’s day. And on this mother’s day, I am thankful for how moms can easily compromise for their kids. For example: do brunch and am absolved from dinner. (thanks mom)…

South Couch Report : Philadelphia v Toronto
One game win streak! Hottest club in MLS! Altidore for MVP! Sometimes I just can’t help it. Sometimes it just writes itself. This is the final game of the club made for TV as next weekend is a home game. I miss going out to the park. Misfit football at times, but I love game…
