From Robbo's column


Well I now know that I will be back in Canada at the start of February for our pre-season schedule, which will see us go to Florida, Tampa and Charleston. These trips are vital and good for team bonding which is crucial during the season.http://www.countytimes.co.uk/columnists/It39s-been-great-to-have.4831928.jp

Time to line up the road trips!:auto:

The Mo we (did or didn’t) know

I’m sending you off to another blog today.
The Offside Rules (http://theoffsiderules.blogspot.com/) is a lively, colourful offering from writer/fan Shawn Francis. A few days back, he posted a splendid half-hour TV documentary (http://theoffsiderules.blogspot.com/2008/12/must-see-video-judas-mo-johnston-story.html) on the rich and dramatic playing career of one Mo Johnston, seen lately in these parts as general manager of a certain Toronto FC.
