AFTER 90*: "The Year of Living Apathetically"


TORONTO VS. MONTREAL
 
* Upon returning from BMO Field today we decided that instead of our usual After 90 or South Stand Report, we will try to encapsulate a season in the stands in a single match report format. Enjoy... we sure didn't.
 
FIRST HALF:
1' - Dutch guy calling things "a pity a lot"
7' - It's cold here.
10' - There's less people here than before.
13' - It's snowing
18' - YELLOW CARD: Richard Eckersley
24' - The "Dichio Song" is still a thing
30' - Some former USL guy just shanked it
33' - This is actually boring.
38' - It's raining
40' - "__________" taken off injured
44' - Lucky to get out of the half
 
HALFTIME: TORONTO 0 - MONTREAL 0
 
SECOND HALF:
45' - Dutch guy out. Man with no trousers in.
50' - It's too damn hot here.
55' - Koevermans is fit and we're scoring!
56' - Koevermans out for the season. As you were.
65' - New players worse than old ones.
70' - Oh look a cat!
75' - It's raining again
80' - Supporters are fighting amongst themselves.
85' - We're not renewing.
88' - $200 bucks a seat? We're renewing!
90' - (This is the part where TFC gives up the goal but as it's the last day and they decided to be dicks and preserve a draw)
90'+ - See you next year neighbour.
 
FULL TIME: TORONTO 0 - MONTREAL 0
 
PLAYER RATINGS: Back-up goalkeepers 3 / Injured dudes 3 / MLS reserve league castaways 3 / Best whatevers in the modern era 3 / Miscellaneous 3
 
THE YORKIES' TFC MAN OF THE MATCH: The supporters
 
THE BATH:
There will be time to look back on the season properly when it is done. Today is just a head nod to all those supporters who have been here since the early days and who spent more effort getting down to BMO Field this year than the club gave back to you. Kudos to every last one of you on making it through a dire season at "Our House".
 
Happy trails to those of you who may not come back - can't really argue with your lack of faith in management. To those who we will see next year... let's hope for a Christmas miracle and a better year on the pitch, less soap operas in the front office and in the stands and a "rollback" in atmosphere to 2007. And if not... at least we'll get what we paid for.

  1. 60' - Team's first ever DP is traded for a bag of faulty footballs. TFC still have to pay his contract in order for deal to happen.
