Pre-Season Friendlies

[UK Redsox]

Where's the commentary?

We have started well though these were third tier last season

Whose the tiny no 29 for us?

Is it McKirdy ??

No....O'Hare

Looks like he's not just an ORDinary player

YYZ understands and approves

Still think that someone should have done a spoof of the Rachel Stevens song.... Sweet Dreams My BHX

Impressed with that. Hogan looks really sharp, Elmo made a huge difference down the right and the youngsters looked good too. Well played.

[The Edge]

Doyle-Hayes MOM

Agree. He looks the part.

Never understood how Lester B. Pearson International Airport ended up with the code YYZ

Any ideas TV?

There's actually no proper reason for it. All Canadian airports start with Y. The logical thing when codes were created would have been to call it YTO, but TO is specifically referenced to things in the city of Toronto. Pearson airport is in Mississauga, a suburb of Greater Toronto. It could have been YTZ, but the small downtown airport already had that, so it got YYZ instead.

The next game will be much tougher. Both Hertha and Malaga play in the top divisions in Germany and Spain respectively.

This is more like it

I mean their defence is shit - but still

Shit doesn't do their defence justice.  The amount of space Hogan had for his first and the way that defender ended up the wrong side of Hogan for his second were efforts I'd have been embarrassed by when I used to trundle around a local field on a Sunday morning.

But at least Hogan's putting them away.

[Matt Collins]

Yep - 3pm right? If i were Malaga or Hertha I'd probably put my stronger team out for the first match though

I imagine we'll see quite a few different faces for us too

[Toronto Villa]

I'll go for

Johnstone, Bree, Amavi, Samba, Baker, Whelan, Lansbury, Grealish, Thor, Adomah, Gabby

Even though Malaga are looking the strongest right now, I'm seeing a Hertha vs Us final.

[four fornicholl]

Penalties?

[Matt Collins]

Malaga could have had five by now

Just the one though

Will be a tough test

[ADVILLAFAN]

Such a shame that the Walsall friendly lasted 90 minutes and the Duisburg one lasted 45.

[SirSteveUK]

Harry McKirdy plays and looks like Jack's younger skinny brother 

[Proposition Joe]

Malaga could have had five by now

Just the one though

Will be a tough test

Hertha going through by the look of it, thanks to someone who must be Robbie Savage's German equivalent.  What a cheating twat.
