Vocal Minority: Facts, Frivolity, Football

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 29

    As always you can hear rather than read this on this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast when that comes out. It’s remarkable really just how much farting in elevators that Hauptman does, the man has no shame. Well, it’s a good job TFC won on the weekend as this was a remarkably productive week in the…

  • THE STARTING 11: Other “Welcome” Signs Banned at BMO Field

    For the most part, this little corner of the TFC Internet carnival is a place for the daft, inane and Collin Samuel. No one is coming to The Starting 11 for tactical breakdowns. If you are – you’re the best. Today I have to rant a wee bit though. As you all know, last week…

  • 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…

  • Toronto FC vs Colorado Rapids. Time to make things count.

    So then, as Toronto were losing to Seattle and New England, the obvious thing to keep reminding yourself of was ‘alright, no need to worry, 4 games coming up against crap teams, TFC can beat the crap teams’. I guess we change that to ‘no need to worry, 3 games against crap teams at home,…

  • Why I Won’t Be At The Toronto FC vs Colorado Rapids Match

    *Update: I wrote this piece last year over at Waking The Red and my views and my stance regarding this game remain the same.  As my thoughts on this will not change, consider this to be an annual post as it is unlikely that MLSE and Toronto FC will stop having this focussed event.  …

  • 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 105 – 15/09/15 #YoGotDatRight

    Here we are again to discuss one of the best performances of the year! and lament TFC’s prospects when they get to the playoffs, as well as the Mad Bull and Maestro show and to look forward to the games in New York (Giovinco and Pirlo together again!) and against Colorado. Mark’s hamstring once again…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 28

    As always, you can get the audio version of this in this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out later today. We’ll start with the big losers of the week, which is happily Sporting Kansas City. The Sporks got a 0-0 tie in Portland only due to Tim Melia pulling off a bunch of saves, but then…

  • THE STARTING 11: Ways That TIFF Would Be Different If TFC Organized It

    Glitz, glamour… probably Tara Reid! For the next two weeks this city is the mecca of all things show and business as the Toronto International Film Festival holds court. Now in its 40th year, TIFF is one of Toronto’s biggest annual events as media from across North America and the world converge on downtown theatres…

  • Toronto FC vs New England Revolution: You Say You Want A Playoff Spot?

    Well here we go folks; one of Toronto FC’s biggest games of the season – are you ready?  This afternoon’s (5pmET, BMO Field, SN360) game against the rampaging New England Revolution is as tough a test as our Reds have faced all season.   You can look ahead to games against the scrubs of the…

Work in progress…
