That's a good way to get the Front Office to sit up and take notice of squad deficiencies. Or get fired. One of the two.

Moved from another thread to a more appropriate one as per Oldtimer suggestion...Originally Posted by jabbronies
I think the first part was an attempted joke- poke of fun on Reddit- about TFC's current issues at right-back and a possible solution exercise from the past.
I was surprised to learn that it was actually entertained and executed; a la Philadelphia Eagles. Let alone the trialists had to pay for that privilege!
I guess these days it sort of more respectfully morphed, not necessarily for football but really anything, to adult 'day/week camp' professional or fun events.

It was a kick in the teeth for a lot of guys. There were some who were well over the age you'd expect for a signing like this (26+ year olds) but they weren't beer league players. They were guys playing at highest levels in and around the city. and some of them were decent ages too (i knew guys that were between 19 - 23)
This is one of MANY reasons why the local soccer people didn't like TFC meddling in the grassroots/local game.
I don't know what the relationship is like know though. I'm fucking too old to be in the know LMAO
Could be a lot worse - part II

The game against Chicago today is going to be livestreamed.
Any links ??
Will be through the TFC website, check there closer to the 1 pm start.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Gee, thanks TFC:
"THis is a region-restricted broadcast and is not available in your area."
Yeah. Pretty lame. Not gonna go through the effort of finding and using a VPN for a preseason game.
Tunnelbear. Free, 500mb a month, Toronto centric. Seems to work.
What a stupid oversight on their part. It's not like they have fans coast to coast or anything.
They just instituted a thirty-minute lightning delay, so you're not missing much.
Is there a chance that it may have actually been the stream provider that put the geoblock in?
I have a feeling this is not a TFC production
Update: just tried watching Chicago's stream, and theirs appears to be geoblocked too.Is there a chance that it may have actually been the stream provider that put the geoblock in?
I have a feeling this is not a TFC production
Infact, it mentions "stream locally.........."
Chicago look friggin terrible.
Tip on that free VPN: you don't need to leave it on. Once the livestream is going, it stops checking location .

The geoblock on these games is an MLS rule.
it seems like so far in this game against Chicago, we are much more aggressive and always want to get the ball, so far was impressed by the different play style which we are playing
I love preseason when everyone on Twitter talks up players based on 20 minutes of action. Haha.
Jimenez scores, nice turn and shoot from close to the back post after we pinged it around the box a little. Good finish. 1-0 for the good guys in the 56 min.
LOL, Chicago commentator has Petrasso and Peruzza completely confused, and has referred to Lorenzo Insigne twice as 'Rolenzo.'
Oy vey.
Walkes has looked really solid so far. They turned over most of the first lineup around min. 63 but the young guys are doing great, pinning Chicago back.
Oop! Almost spoke too soon. Chicago had a breakaway but Ranjitsingh stoned him.
EDIT: LOL, same guy, Jon Doran -- who has serious wheels -- gets behind our backline again.... and Ranjitsingh stones him again.

Serious wheels walking through our #3 & #4 defenders is a tad worrying.
Definite occasional risk of pressing high the entire game. Looked like McNaughton was caught out on the first and he just split them on the second.
Yeah the organization between the mids and the CB’s there not good. They should have been able to deal with that.
Kerr looks really good. Always making runs to open up space
Looking good early, boys. Can't remember the last time we looked that cohesive and aggressive in a pre-season match.
Yeah agreed. Osorio, Pozuelo, and Bradley were insane as a midfield unit. Jimenez fits so well. Lots of good performances across the board.
Still not convinced JMR is a fullback in any way, shape, or form.
Missed the match. What shape were the midfield three in?
Hey everyone.
The Luddite in me has made me give up.
It's probable right in front of me, internet accessible somewhere; just can't seem to re-find it.
I thought I saw this game's starting player/formation lineup diagram posted somewhere?
If anyone else saw it... some help/direction would be welcomed and appreciated; thanks.
Yay for the good guys; liked what I saw.
We should at least be a few standing spots better than the Fire then last season?
Which should keep us positioned within reach of the Playoffs until the summer window.
It's on the TFC twitter feed if you scroll down slightly:

Some of us have long memories
10 years ago preseason looked soooo good
Nice saves from Ranjisingh! Wouldn’t have blamed him for missing either of them.
