VMP 2016 Final Countdown #26: Raheem Edwards
Mark: 26 – I will treasure all of his contributions this year. Six minutes. Raheem Edwards made his debut for Toronto FC in a Voyageurs Cup match against Vancouver, coming on for Osorio in the 86th minute in late June. He followed that performance by making his league debut in an 88th minute substitution coming…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #27: Brian James
Mark: 27 – I will treasure all of his contributions this season. Brian James made his debut for Toronto FC in the Voyageurs Cup replacing Dan Lovitz in a game against Montreal and contributed six minutes. Thank you Wikipedia. Six whole minutes. That’s nearly 360 seconds, if my math is correct. The 80th pick overall…

TFC Player Final Countdown: 2016 Edition
Well sports fans another Toronto FC season has come to an end, and wow, what a crazy season! It feels rather odd to have TFC’s off season begin in December, and well into December at that. Usually we’ve been grumbling into our cups since sometime in October, and staring off into the abyss that is…

I was wrong.
I was wrong. There, I said it. It’s been a generally good season, a great playoff run, and probably the most dramatic 2 legged series I’ve ever seen, certainly the best I’ve attended, so it may be time to let go of some of my long held beliefs about many people and things in TFC…

Feeling warm and fuzzy? Surprise, here’s TFC and MLS to take care of that for you.
So, Wednesday night was awesome, the playoffs have been great, hell most of the season has been very very good on the pitch. Even off the pitch, things are much better, there’s very few really annoying decisions, playoff pricing and season seat renewal were reasonable, they took the Voyageurs Cup seriously, didn’t play a friendly,…

Toronto FC 5: 2 Montreal Impact. The South Stand Report 2: The reportening!
I’m a bit too stunned from it all still to put this together into any kind of well crafted narrative, so instead here’s a more or less chronological word vomit on my thoughts and feeling around an absolutely fucking ridiculous game. Mark’s report started with “I’m not about to write anything you haven’t already heard…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal, 2nd leg
I’m not about to write anything you haven’t already heard or don’t already know. You know what happened. You know. It’s been a blur. It’s incredible. This is still bonus time. I just wanted one home playoff game. Just one, and I’d be happy. Everything else is bonus time. Now we’re on the cusp of…

The South Stand Report: Toronto FC 1:1 Philadelphia Union.
I took the Dufferin bus down to the game. It’s occasionally annoying, but generally pretty reliable and ever since they dug the little tunnel under the railway tracks at Queen, it’s been a decent way to get to BMO Field. Apparently they’re now doing construction on that underpass and so the road’s closed, and so…

TFC Fall To The Energy Drinks 3-0, Lose Seba And Continue To Regress
Well that was fun. Oh wait, no it wasn’t. What a mess. And I was poorly prepared having not nearly enough booze in the house to deal with that match. Due to a confluence of anniversaries, power outages and work none of the VMP crew were really prepared to write a post-match for this…
