    Default Saying thank you - John Molinaro

    Hey guys,

    Now that the TFC season is over, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to you for continuing to read my work in 2014.

    I've appreciated all the kind compliments and constructive criticism you've given me, as well as the words of support via Twitter when my mom passed away from cancer in August.

    Not sure if I'm going to continue to cover the team next year. But in the meantime, let's hope they make smart moves in the off-season so we can finally watch a playoff game in 2015.

    Cheers,
    John Molinaro

    I certainly hope that you continue to report on this team, but I can't blame you if you decide to move on to something a LOT more positive. Cheers!

    Thanks for all your work. I read basically every article you put out.

    Hope you still cover TFC next year, but if not, good luck with whatever you choose to do.

    John...I'd like to thank you for the great work you've done in the past, and I really hope you get to report on TFC's first play-off appearance.

    If, however, your journey takes you down other paths, I'd like to wish you all the best.

    I can't speak for everyone, but I think you'd always be welcome to come and stand with us in 112.
    O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
    Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
    Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
    Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever

    John,

    You can't end the suffering so easily! You need to cover the team next year!

    Thanks for your great work on the beat. I hope you do come back next year because I really like your work!

    Slumming about in the muck and mire, shining light where there is only darkness, attempting to bring some meaning to the existence of the poor and the downtrodden is one sure fire way to attain Sainthood.

    Walk away from that now, and you lose everything.

    Maybe you just need a diversion ... come and write a few articles about the Ottawa Fury FC next season.
