This should be another Loss.
I hate to root for losing under any circumstances. I’ve completely resisted doing it.
But I hope the players role over like they did for Armas and we get smoked. Rid our football team of this imposter and his boss.
It’s the best hope we have of salvaging this season.
It is getting harder to watch these days....but I still will. Sucker for punishment I guess. So many changes in the team over the past year or so and yet still such uninspired football being played with just flashes here and there for excitement. Tired of watching other teams figure it out and playing well as a team all with less resources than our team has.
We're still paying Jozy right? Maybe he can play both sides this match?
I wish Tajon was playing but he's still in like a fairytale.
Could very well be Richie’s last game for TFC. At least we can see him at BMO for Canada on the 27th.
I really do hope it's Bob's last game, or I have to seriously question if MLSE even bothers to check any stats let alone the standings.
It’s hard to imagine what the line up will be tomorrow, considering all the absences. If all the questionables are out tomorrow, we might be seeing:
Ranjitsingh
O’Neill————-Mabika———-Rosted
Berna-Thompson-Kaye-JMR-Insigne
Kerr-—Sapong
Hard to see it going well.
Wheres Hedges? Could avoid humiliation if hes available.
In this instance, I think the questionable are, more than possible, suspect probable, to play. The question... will it be the full or parts of a match.

Ritchie's last game as it stands was likely Wednesday. On my way to the Jays game last night I saw him downtown. Team Canada arriving in Toronto yesterday. With his loan expiring on Friday, guess things have to be figured out, but I am not expecting him to the Reds, in honest at this point there are likely better places for him to be.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
This game tonight could break me. I can’t watch it.
The 7-1 game in 2021 was different, even though it got Armas fired, I personally didn’t get upset. Hard to remember exactly why other than everything seemed weird in covid and could be forgiven or forgotten in some sense.
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
I left a message for my source yesterday about Michael getting his badges and conveyed the general consensus that appointing him here would be catastrophic to both his legacy and the fans' already soured general mood. Haven't heard back. That's not uncommon in terms of the time lag but it's a bit unnerving.
I can't really figure this out. No human being with enough intelligence, in one form or another, to get to his managerial level can possibly be so stubborn as to not realize it's the offensive set that isn't working. The defense is usually pretty solid, the possession is excellent when the players still think they're in it.
It's the movement around the box. It's not that the Italians don't put danger balls in, it's that there's never ever anyone there. They try three or four at the beginning of the game, then give up and start trying to do it themselves. Everyone hangs deep, at the top of the box in the case of the striker, even further back in the case of the midfielders. No one attacks the posts. No one attacks the spot.
It doesn't make any sense. Either a) they're being told to always patiently set up and pen the other team in until a closer chance prevails, which would obviously be moronic, and just seems unlikely; or b) pros with years of experience don't know when to attack the box or c) there's some shit going on here that we all are not seeing, some fight over how the offense is run, or some other political shit going on.
I mean, maybe he's svengali-like enough that Bob literally is doing a "Hoosiers" -- like Gene Hackman leaving only four men out because the fifth disrespected the team, he's making them play the offense as always probing from the top of the box until they learn it.
But ... we're eighteen games in. On his SECOND season. This is absolute madness.
Is he deliberately tanking himself, trying to convince them they should punt him up to just sporting director to clear the way for Michael? I know, it's soap opera conspiracy nuts. But I'm starting to lose any rational thread to any of this.
Other than the opportunity cost and what we've pissed away to me its the gaslighting. I don't care if you're crap but this is "you can piss on my face but don't tell me it's raining", it's the gaslighting that makes me have genuine contempt for the organization
The lies about how everything was great before the athletic article dropped from our "press", the soft ball questions of asking people if the father son dynamic is a problem...in front of them...on a recorded interview...and publishing the answer like it proved something. The pretending a stadium I can see is half empty is fucking full. The pretending being near the play offs with the richest squad in the league is somehow success when everyone makes the fucking play offs. It's the constant reality denying north Korean media esque gaslighting and complete lack of taking any responsibility for what's happening. It's the fact that this team is put second to the egos of the Bradley's and, and most won't agree with this, I don't think either has done nearly enough to deserve the deity treatment they get and now the fact that it may take years more of garbage to move past them
I can root for a player who is shit but trying. But rooting for an organization that is constantly trying to shovel shit down my throat is alot harder.

POTY candidate.
I actually haven't been able to watch TFC interviews for a LONG time. In the early years, I gobbled up every piece of news etc. if it was TFC related. Even when we were crap, it was somehow still interesting. I can't remember exactly when I got completely disillusioned. Even when management weren't total wankers for a while, I just got burned too many times that I just couldn't stomach watching an interview or a press conference anymore.
Actually this year, for the first time in a while, I'm not getting too upset at games anymore, other than the occasional face palm or cheer. We're just enjoying our time there, spending $0 on food and drink, and getting to know the other SSH around us better. The club in its current state isn't worth getting upset about.
Has anyone seen the media TFC released about tonight's game with two American football helmets clashing? This club is so odd with the marketing ideas. They fall so short of what they should be doing and trying to connect with the supporters and casuals to get them excited
We should all just agree to stop watching this team and meet back here in 30 days, haha.
Probably better for our blood pressure.
So you think we'd have a chance at this game if Bob Bradley died in the bathtub? The entire team, including the Italians, are garbage. Ladt game, Insigne had a wide open Kerr at the top of the 6, but instead tried a crazy shot that wasn't even on net...and so it goes.
Okay, so Bob, Michael, fake son, the Italians, all in the bathtub.
Andre Lombardo comes back and does a pre-game ayahuasca ceremony with our strikers. We explode for 8 goals and go on to win the league.
I don’t have any answers, or at least none that I haven’t already pointed to on this board over the past season and a half. There has almost always been an element of head scratching during BBradley’s time at the club. We do often look as good or better than teams much higher than us in the standings. But only in the first half and often not for the full 45 mins. Also, we don’t seem to have a striker capable of scoring even a single goal, let alone someone who might be given the respect of the Italians.
