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 | 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 [...]
Hard Times (Pt. 1)
By: bingitz2002 | 3 Comments
Well, you are probably surprised I am here. To be honest I am a little surprised I am here. It’s been tough for me to get inspired to write given Torino’s fortunes over the past few months but I am feeling relaxed, in a good place and cautiously optimistic that we have hit our [...]
These are interesting times (to be a Toro fan)
By: bingitz2002 | 2 Comments
Ladies and gentlemen,
These seem like bleak times for Torino. We have dropped points to all of our relegation rivals (though fortunately only one of those, that ugly 2-5 to Bologna, was a loss). We are currently sitting in 18th place, far off track of the “magic 40″ points that are necessary for survival.
We do [...]

I’ve been here on and off. I’ve been ghosting around here for a little bit and I see some posts and comments lamenting/commenting on the fact that there is no active Torino blog, and for that I apologize. When I agreed back in August to write on this blog, I sorely underestimated the time I [...]

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 [...]
Reggina-Torino Match Preview
By: bingitz2002 | No Comments
Tomorrow we are going to Reggio Calabria to face Reggina, a team that has miraculously survived a couple times now. It will be an emotional return to the tip of the boot for a couple Toro players, but the whole team will be concentrated on getting a full three points from this match and maintaining [...]

So, I’ve had a pretty stressful week or two, between moving back into school and various personal/family issues, but now everything’s falling into place and I’m back to blogging. Luckily, not a whole lot has happened in the world of Toro thanks/no thanks to this two week international break we’re having. I swear, FIFA needs [...]
Category: Team NewsTorino 3-0 Lecce and the End of the Mercato
By: bingitz2002 | 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 [...]
Good Times, Bad Times

It was a good weekend. Toro beat Brescia 2-1 in the Coppa, the Bianchi affair concluded in a positive way, and I rocked out in Golden Gate Park. The game against Brescia was a struggle, not concluding until David Di Michele started to prove his worth by finishing off a wonderful move. Bianchi finally signed [...]
