Chad "The New Pele" Barrett opened the scoring in the 5th minute, powerfully converting an amazing De Rosario standing bicycle cross which put Cannon on his back like a scene from "Keepers Gone Wild". Pablo Vitti got what turned out to be the winning goal in the 54th with a solid workman's header in the box. Vitti's second goal of the season - neither from his feet. Someone tell the Argentine that you are allowed to kick in MLS. Barret added his second of the night in the 69th (dude!) after capitalizing on a San Jose defensive miscue. Nice to see The Chad put away some easy chances but still could of had a few more. The oncoming Gerba and White factor may be lighting a fire under Barrett's previously impotent heels.
San Jose's only reply came from Darren Huckerby. The should-have-been TFC winger was about the only bright spark for the second year club. It does make you wonder what Toronto's flank could have looked like with his silky passes in the squad. Thanks Field Turf. Although, you have to think Huckerby looks at The Reds and wonders "what if?" as well. Finally - poor Frank Yallop. Suffering with the flu on the sidelines, the smart manager does look like he's preparing for "The Big One". And that's a pink slip - not an earthquake.

ReplyDeleteI took some stick for my last comment on here regarding Craig "opps" Forrest with some saying I was a little harsh. Well I'm glad to see that he proved me right by falling through his seat while commentating on Saturdays game. What a star, that more than makes up for the hours I wasted on the terraces watching the balls fly past his hands at Ipswich.
Despite that what about those Reds, Who's the daddy - Chad Barrett clearly. I would suggest that he obviously thought the tallent scouts were in the stadium.

Craig Forrest : outstanding keeper, passible commentator. At least when he gives an opinion, he speaks with a certain degree of fire... even if he misses the point from time to time.
ReplyDeleteRock, rock on Keith.
Thanks for that, Outstanding keeper..... we sent him to West Ham where he did even less!
ReplyDeleteAnyway maybe its us Brits, Jamie Peters or as he was billed "Canada's answer to David Beckham" isn't so smart either. Spends most of his time playing for the reserves or driving around Ipswich in a big fat car (Black Hummer with cromes, Nice) pretending to be Puff Daddy! Please take him back as we have some more Polish we need to employ.
