Weekend Recap

By: bingitz2002 | Comments No Comments

This weekend was not a particularly memorable in the granata world as we were eliminated from the Coppa Italia and have not made any more dealings in the transfer market. There is still some work to be done before the season starts next week, but it looks like we will be ready for the season [...]

Torino 1-0 Figline: An August Toro

By: bingitz2002 | Comments 6 Comments

Torino are through to the next round of the Coppa Italia after a narrow 1-0 win over Lega Pro side Figline. As commentators appropriately noted, it is the Toro of August, as we are still in many ways getting ready for the league campaign ahead. Rolando Bianchi scored the only goal of the match, assisted [...]

There was more activity in Toro’s mercato late this week as the team saw one player out and another fill his shoes. On his way out is World Cup winner Simone Barone while coming in is midfielder Massimo Loviso from Livorno. More after the break as well as a rundown on our participation in the [...]

Those goddamn jail uniforms!

By: bingitz2002 | Comments 5 Comments

Seriously. What’s so appealing about playing in black-and-white stripes? It looks like you’re doing time, not playing football. (I suppose it suits Juventus however.) Nonetheless, i gobbi are not the focus of our efforts this weekend (though the derby is soon!), this Sunday we welcome Udinese to the Stadio Olimpico. This is a tricky match. [...]

Some of you, I hope alot of you, will get the reference I made with the picture and title, for those of you who don’t, to answer your question, no that is not what I look like. Anyways, after election craziness here in the states and an avalanche of work, I feel the inspiration to [...]

Looking Back, Looking Forward

By: bingitz2002 | Comments 1 Comment

Looking back at our defeat against Inter, nobody can say it was really unexpected. While we all like to spring a surprise, we hadn’t won at home against Inter since 1994. Of course it was also that long ago that we last won a Serie A opener, but this time it wasn’t to be. Inter [...]

Torino 3-0 Lecce and the End of the Mercato

By: bingitz2002 | Comments 5 Comments

We won! It is the first time we have won a Serie A opening match since 1993, so that is a noteworthy achievment in my book. However, we should not get carried away with ourselves. Our goals were fairly lucky and Lecce hit the post twice. That being said, we definitely deserve to have a [...]

After months of anticipation, transfer dealings, and meaningless friendlies, the time has finally come for Serie A to kick off. While we will see Udinese host Palermo and Sampdoria host Inter in two exciting matches on Saturday, Sunday will be the moment we Toro fans have all been waiting for. Will our team perform after [...]

Amid all the talk about the upcoming Serie A season and this Sunday’s Super Coppa between Inter and Roma it’s easy to forget we have a competitive match tomorrow. That’s right, tomorrow perennial Serie B favorites Brescia come to the Olimpico to take on Torino and I intend to give you the lowdown on the [...]

Can We Get Some Prozac Here

By: chris | Comments 3 Comments

So this just became a real life relegation fight after Cagliari were awarded their three points back earlier in the week. Then they went and continued their good form and drew with Roma today (alright, they had no business getting a draw, but Matteo Ferrari started the game with a Rossoblu jersey on). Livorno drops [...]
