Gerba Lashes out.. nice

 I really did not like the way TFC handled Ali Gerba. I felt like he was never given a real chance to prove himself with the team. Or maybe I feel like he never really had a solid chance to prove himself to the fans. It was a shame they way TFC let him go. In fact it is a real shame the way they handle all the players on the team.

Brian Edwards was released the day before the first game. Greg Sutton once a hero in Toronto, just let go like a fart in the wind. I felt Danny Dichio was forced into retirement. Alecko Eskandarian had a player blog on the TFC official website and he was supposed to be the go to guy for the team. He wore the red with pride and was brushed away with no thought at all. Jeff Cunningham struggled to find his way with the team and was forced out. Tébily came to play with us but was forced out with an injury... or was he? Rohan Ricketts was outspoken and forced out of town. Beloved Carl Robinson was shown no respect just the door. The list goes on and on and on. Who knows what the real story is with Jimmy Brennan. It was nice to see this interview yesterday Kristian Jack from "The Score" (footy blog) had with Gerba.

No holds barred. Unfortunately that wont change Ali's situation but it may shake up the front office in Toronto. There is a valuable lesson to be learned here for MLSE. Start treating the players with respect. There is NOT an never ending supply of these guys and its only a matter of time before players around the world realize there time would be spent better with another team.

Robo in NewYork

It's a nice sunny day today. To bad I am cooped up in this office.

I was sifting thru the TFC news today and noticed FINALLY Robo is gone. TFC fans have been pestered with the news of Robinson leaving for some time now. This guy (ME) is just glad it finally happened. I would like to see all the puzzle pieces put into place before the season starts. How Robinson left is another issue. Different sites are reporting different things. The New York Post is reporting that Robinson was traded to NY Red Bulls for 2011 draft picks. 2011 draft picks seems a little step (TEE HEE HEE). The CBC website is reporting that Carl was released and New York has him on trial. The TFC site is even more vague with a TFC TV bit interviewing Preki on the situation. You would figure he would have his shit together on the situation before being asked by TFC tv questions like that.



Either way Robo deserved a little bit more respect from the club. The situation was handled with about as much tact as they had with our beloved Danny Dichio. I hope the TFC faithful show him a little bit (just a little not to much) appreciation when he returns to play against us in August.

TFC have packed there bags

Today TFC is headed south for training. They kick off a 10 day mini camp for there trialists. From what I understand it sounds like if the trialist does well he will not make the team but if he plays OK then we can sign him to a mediocre contract. That sucks balls. Apparently TFC are pretty much out of allocation money and unless the Labor disputes between the players and the MLS changes that. WE ARE SCREWED. :)

Sounds like Serioux is not coming back... Dave mentioned this last year, tee hee. Looks like the nail was smacked right on the head!

Carl Robinson's contract is in jeopardy.

Dwayne Derosario's future does not look good. He is apparently pissed that he is not a DP.

Chad Barrett is injured.

should be interesting season. Not much to say until they actually start training and get there shit together.
