Today's News,Tuesday,Jun.26
sad to read the news about Silva's dad passing away at 52.
I'm a mariner cheerleader.
I'm dinking the kool-aide.
this team is well broken, but we have the right man to fix it.
the past is our present. the future looks bright.
We could all spend counltess lines of text minging and whining abotu every decision, every move and every player.
what good is that going to do but increase the aggrivation.
time to condense the nonsense!
Embrace the squad.

Plata RPB Man of the Year scarves arrived yesterday. I will have them at Shoeless this weekend!
That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion.Originally Posted by Technorgasm
I'm going to go out on a limb and state my own opinion:
TFC will not have a winning record while Mariner is at the helm.
We will see by the end of the season who is more right.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
*squints* whose this guy? whose this plata you speak of?
I've read your posts - I sense you want PM to be the right man, and are trying to convince yourself he is.
It's all 'Whistling past the the Graveyard', innit ?
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
That is great to hear about the Plata scarves arriving, made my day. Looking forward to getting mine this Saturday.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Mariner probably should get the remainder of the year to prove what he can do as head coach. But if I were MLSE, I wouldn’t be waiting that long to start the search for a new one.
Yes, but who at MLSE is qualified to do that ?

Can you imagine anyone from TFC going back into the boardroom at MLSE and asking for more money for another consultant to hire another coach? For that matter can you imagine anyone from TFC going into the boardroom at MLSE and asking for more money to hire another coach - they'd have to pay Winter and Mariner the rest of their contracts and pay the new coach.
Let Rongen decide. Seriously.
oh, man...
Everytime I picture the MLSE board I see the woman who owned the Chiefs in Slapshot...oh, man...
Yeah, but at least she was hot - in a diabolical sort of way (or not so much, now that I just Googled her).
edit - no, wait - I'm thinking of Major League, but probably so are you.

I agree. Unfortunately, many have already made up their minds regarding Mariner.
Good edit, I was getting worried
No, I'm thinking of Slapshot. Paul Newman finds out who owns the Chiefs and goes to talk to her in her nice house and she says, "It's been so amusing reading about you in the press." She knows absolutely nothing about the team or the sport and her accountant has advised her to fold the team rather than sell it.
It is funny, though, how in all these movies the evil owners are always women (wasn't it the owner's daughter in North Dallas Forty? Or Semi Tough?) with alternative motives - maybe a Canadian movie will be made with the evil owners being a board of directors...
^right - gotcha - good laughs... seems that all you can do these days is laugh.
In the new Sorkin drama The Newsroom, it's Jane Fonda. One senses mommy issues.Good edit, I was getting worried

Has anyone told Anselmi that if he keeps running the team this way, he's a cocksucker, just like his kid?
It didn't work in Slapshot, either, but there are days when TFC could piss anyone off just that much.
Holy irony Batman.
You just said you agree with a guy who is a "Mariner cheerleader" then say "unfortunately many have made up their minds regarding Mariner."
That cuts both ways.
Here's a suggestion for everyone: logic suggests we we don't have even close to enough info one way or the other to make up our minds, so let's all just keep an eye on results and play for awhile.
Personally, I think their teamwork, ethic and movement have actually improved under Mariner.
Conversely, I think his player suggestion suggests he does not judge talent as well as people think.
My jury is still well out, and I would suggest everyone else's should be. Cheer the team, sure. But there's no point being a cheerleader for someone until there's a reason; otherwise, people just end up convincing themselves to keep backing a horse to protect their own sense of humility, even if he comes up lame.
It's too early to say.
I should have clarified. I believe that Mariner has the pedigree to lead TFC on a positive trajectory moving forward, but of course, it's too early to pass judgement one way or another.
It would be prudent to do a quiet search in the background though, no? Just in case October rolls around in we're not in good shape. I'd hate to see another January appointment.
You are 100% right!
The man has not been in charge long.
There is not enough data to say that he is the best man for TFC,
more importantly the man to turn this entire shit show around.
But, I like him, I want him to do well. I am behind him 100%!
Love his style, hope it pans out for him .
Is it too much to ask for soem positivity, and hope?
Trust me. . . its all we fuckign have down here in the deep dark basement. . .

Absolutely!
I'm scared though, that this looming merger will scuttle a few things and hold up the whole process.
In other news, the second article posted is by, well, ME!
Breaking borders and escaping from the Blogs thread into the Daily News threads
Give it a read, if you're so inclined. The statistics are shocking! Kenny Cooper scores the most last minute goals, Columbus has beat us at the dying moments the most times, and Toronto FC has dropped points 24 times in the last 10 minutes. There's way more, so head on over to goal.com

mornin d
lets give mariner a chance---i think he can make something happen
we only need one experienced centre back who can marshall the d
and an attacking mid who can score goals
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
Barrage of tweets from Larson (who I agree is one of the best covering TFC currently, as much as people might not like his pro-Mariner stance):
Plata out for tomorrow
Mariner says potentially multiple players coming in
Lindsay back to full training (gulp!)
Great news regarding Lindsay. I thought he was a very promising Academy prospect prior to his unfortunate snowmobile accident.
As for multiple players coming in, hopefully a reliable CB is one of them.
wha ? I think he's saying that many have made up their minds that Mariner isn't the right man for the job - right ?
Yes, that's what I meant.
