I’M BLIND, I’M DEAF, I WANT TO BE AN MLS REF!

By: Robert | Comments 3 Comments

I’m so tired of complaining about the refs that I’ve created this blog specifically to address the issue. At first I was going to go off on a rant but honestly this issue is more persistent and goes deeper than something as trivial as GOLTV’s stupid decision to cut away from a live match [...]

Hakan Şükür to become TFC’s DP?

By: Colman | Comments 18 Comments

News reaching us this morning from the Bosporus is indicating that Toronto FC are about to sign their first ever Beckham Rule superstar Designated Player. To translate from this article, Şükür met with officials from Toronto FC last week and had a verbal agreement. He chose Canada for his daughters education and rejected offers from [...]

The Mourning After

By: Colman | Comments 5 Comments

Though I’m still feeling hollow and depressed following last night’s game in the Windy City, it’s time to offer up my opinions. While most of the sentiment I’ve been hearing from other supporters has been all doom and gloom, I don’t think we had a very weak performance. In fact, if MLS refereeing had not [...]

A Heartbreaking Loss

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

Result: 2-1 Chicago
Attendance Toyota Park: 15,118
Last night was spectacularly depressing. We really needed a victory on the road, at least we needed to walk away with a point. Unfortunately some poor defending by Valez allowed a late Chicago goal which not only put a damper on a lively match, but also on my rather fine [...]

Chicago Pregame + Some tidbits

By: Colman | Comments 2 Comments

Time to get in a quick pregame post before tonight’s 8:30 pm (ET) kickoff:
TFC is fresh off two draws, one respectable, one not so much. We all felt the frustration of the tie in beautiful British Columbia, where we were hoping to exact a measure of revenge following our first home defeat of the season [...]

Well after a couple of weeks of playing some extra-curricular football, the Reds are finally back to playing in the MLS. I love the friendlies and CONACACAF qualifier but damn I wish they put that shit in [...]

Mo’s Woes

By: Colman | Comments 6 Comments

I cannot offer as comprehensive a write-up as Rob did for last night’s game, as I was refereeing two rep games and only got home on time for the second half. What I saw in those 45 minutes (and postgame highlights) is exactly the same as what Rob wrote: It was a good game, with [...]

A Hard-Fought (but disppointing) Draw

By: Robert | Comments 2 Comments

If I was making commemorative t-shirts for our match in BC they’d read, ‘We went to Vancouver and all we came back with was a lousy draw.’ While it was lousy result it was far from a lousy match. It would have been a satisfactory result if we were playing a team like New England [...]
