Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC: Statement game for Vanney, TFC.
9 Wins, 6 ties and 9 defeats, 33 points and sitting comfortably in a playoff place with games in hand. Such was TFC’s position last season after 24 games, and in ‘a results based business’ as Tim Bezbatchenko said and faithful reporters dutifully reported and argued, that was more than reason enough for Ryan Nelsen to…

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 24
Yeah, this is very late, I’m forgetful, so maybe you’ve already listened to this in this week’s podcast, if not, what the hell are you waiting for. Anyway, it’s all old news now, but at the very least scroll down for the Kaka tantrum. Well the theme for this year’s Voyageurs Cup is set. We’ve…

Episode 101 – 15/08/19 #becauseNarrative
The gang is all sobered up to review New York Red Bulls, look ahead to Orlando again and postulate the future of the head coach. In this episode Mark confuses his historical footballing injuries, Duncan pulls no punches on the gaffer, Tony has a song for the opposition and Kristin brings us a time-proven medical…

Contest : Joe Bendik Meme
I’m going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that Toronto FC could very well be one of the most memeable teams in all of sport. The dysfunction, the quoteables, the invisible cheque-signings, Mista – the list goes on and on. In the Pulitzer-esque writing of the South Bar Report, I remember distinctly…

THE STARTING 11: Shades of Greg Vanney Pink
You either love him or you loathe him. Actually no. Greg Vanney, as of yet non-embattled TFC head coach, rarely elicits that kind of emotion around these parts. Not good enough to be showered with praise; not bad enough to warrant calls for his dismissal. He’s just kind of there… and that’s ok for now.…

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…

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…

Episode 100 – 15/08/13 #unspectacularSpectacular
This is our longest episode to date (and for that we are very sorry), but there was much to cover in our “100th episode”. We’re all present and accounted for to recap Orlando, Kansas City, say good-bye and hello to a few players and preview the future of New York Red Bull. In this episode,…

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…
