Pre game: 23 Apr. Columbus at Toronto

[ryan]

no longer calling for rain tomorrow afternoon. 16 degrees with a decent wind, i'll take it.

[denime]

So I think Winter said Nana, Zavarise, and Stevanovic are out now in his interview...if thats so

--------------Frei---------------------
Eckersley-Henry-Williams-Yourassowsky
-----------JDG----Tchani--------------
--------------Santos------------------
Martina-------Gordon--------------Plata

could see Yourassowsky in the middle and Borman on the left

yeah,now we will see how deep our bench really is.

[backbeat]

i think we'll see something like this:

--------------------Frei---------------------
Eckersley--Williams-Cann---Borman-----
---------------JDG----Tchani---------------
------------------Santos--------------------
Martina----------Gordon------Yourassowsky

[DangerRed]

TFC's hilarious. The interview with Winter is headlined "Good to Go" and highlights that Gordon will be playing. No mention is made of the other very critical pieces of this team that are now injured. This is going to be a tough game.

[prizby]

i think we'll see something like this:

--------------------Frei---------------------
Eckersley--Williams-Cann---Borman-----
---------------JDG----Tchani---------------
------------------Santos--------------------
Martina----------Gordon------Yourassowsky

doesn't cann have a bruised/broken rib?

[2mil4dero+santo]

doesn't cann have a bruised/broken rib?

according to the sun, Cann is now fit. harden(susp), nana and stevanovich are out.

[flamehawk]

What time do folks leave Shoeless for the game?

Some pre game thoughts ahead of round 12 between TFC and the Columbus Crew on Saturday afternoon at BMO Fieid. Comments always welcome.

3:15 the latest

Good thing Cann is back, that limits the changes to the back line. I suppose Peterson's gaffe vs DC could leave him with his first start on the bench.

I wonder if Plata could get his first start?

I rarely do this, so...

^ good read..


i hate those fuckers i really don't think i hate another team as much in any sport

(Well maybe Man united)and i cant wait for the day we start spanking them all the

time.. if we win today i'm lovin it but we need to get as much in the W column as they

do before we can start rubbing it in to much..

[CBTFC]

Dear Mr. Winter,

Santos, Martina and Plata up front for at least a half, to see what they can do.

Sincerely,

CBTFC

[Ossington Mental Youth]

i highly doubt we will ever see Plata up front starting or even for a whole game due to his size, prob see Zavarise, too bad about Stevanovic

[TorontoGooner]

Is there a march today?

[stevielarson]

and there is the sun...its gonna be a good day boys

[Red Patch CA]

Columbus should enjoy our attention while they can. They were always a stand-in rival before the real thing next year: Montreal.
Next year, Columbus can go back to being the sad, sad team and city that they are.

[ManUtd4ever]

It's still cool and rainy up here in Richmond Hill, but I'm looking forward to a beautiful afternoon at BMO Field.

A victory over the KKKrew today would go a long way towards erasing the bitterness of last weekend's debacle.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

C'MON YOU REDS!

[DaBandit]

This is the best banner I have ever seen... Two thumbs up for the person who thought this one up... Lol

[Alixir]

So is GolTV going to have any games in HD this year for people who do not live at Real Sports??

JMo's article on CBCSports.ca has Cann starting. So I think the backline is:

The Eck - Williams - Cann - Borman

I wouldn't mind seeing Soolsma play at some point. I think it's time he got more time. If Stefanovic doesn't start, then I think we see Plata and Soolsma split time barring injury; or, someone being sent off on a useless BS call by the ref...

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

I had a dream, 6-0 TFC, all the goals in the second half.

6-0 !!!
you must have wet yourself

[MarkEightThree]

I bought two tickets via EMT and got the PDFs for today's match, do I have to print these or can the gate just scan them off my phone??

[Red Rat]

print them out

[TFC07]

So is GolTV going to have any games in HD this year for people who do not live at Real Sports??

No because none of carriers (example Rogers) don't want to pick up GolTV HD channel.

Another reason why putting games on GolTV is a dumb idea.

yes but Bell already has goltv hd...its channel 1412. They just dont ever put games on it.

[Banjax]

anyone else having a problem with goltv its a black screen for me

yeah you have to watch the standard def channel as they have all the HD routed to Real Sports Bar and Grill.

6-0 would suffice, but I'd prefer 3-0 at the half, to have least emotions for the 2nd half!
