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 host and writer Kristin’s birthday, it was educational as well as...

Toronto FC vs NY Red Bulls: When Is It Time To Start Worrying?

Toronto are coming off a difficult loss, highlighted by a poor defensive effort that is becoming all too familiar, coupled with a lack of finish and creativity. This has resulted in a Toronto FC that over the past few weeks have been doing their best to emulate Dickens.  Of late there’s been very little of just ‘OK times’, with either dramatic wins or overwhelming losses the story of the day.  Yes there have been...

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 23

As always, catch the audio version of all this in the Vocal Minority Podcast, coming out later this week.  Giovanni Dos Santos is here and he’s playing and ai ai ai and sit down everyone, Chad’s scored already. Yes Chad Barrett opened the scoring within the first minute of what would generally be a big glamour match up between Seattle and LA. Unfortunately he then turned to run back to the halfway line and pulled his...

South Traffic Report : Toronto v Kansas City

Yeah it’s late. You see, somebody was trying to actually get to the game on time.  They left early, gave themselves, what they thought was, plenty of time to get down to the stadium.  Who knew that one set of road closures would have screwed up everything. At 3:00 I had exited the Gardiner and was on Park Lawn. By 4:30 I was on the Queensway at Windemere, a whopping 2.3km in 90 minutes.  With another 4.3 km to go, at this rate,...

Toronto FC vs Sporting KC: Will TFC Need Super Seba To Once Again Save The Day?

  Well Wednesday night was fun!  Seriously if you didn’t watch or attend then you really missed one of those rare joyous moments that we as TFC fans get to experience approximately once a year.   But it’s been a long time since I was at BMO Field and experienced the entire crowd erupting into cheers, all chanting and celebrating as one – fun; pure unadulterated fun.  But as fun as that was, we have to put it...

South Stand Report : Toronto v Orlando

It’s a beautiful day for footy.  Better than the last 5 matches I’ve been to anyways.  Toronto is coming off a confusing sloppy whopping from Boston Minutemen or whatever they’re called.  Doesn’t matter. Orlando somehow beat Columbus over the weekend. You know what, I don’t care about the before right now. I’m in my seats, it’s shaded, 20C, I’ve had some Mexican, just gimme a passable footy...
