But the Open Cup has always been like this for years which is why MLS' decision to seemingly permanently pull out of the Open Cup for good is so...
[MEDIA] This is embarrassing from Bayern. Last week's PK claim on the goal kick I kind of understand. I would do the same if I was a player....
US Soccer assessors would ding Orsato's AR1 for being on the field during active play.
Remember how VAR was gonna "reduce/eliminate dissent?" Instead what it has done is basically forced referees to stop giving dissent cards on any...
Kovacs so wanted to give Raphina another yellow for dissent there, but thought better of it.
You can also make an argument that a substitute for Barcelona should have been cautioned for dissent for stepping on the field to protest. Again,...
Fascinating caution to Gundogan. You can tell to Kovacs wanted to caution him immediately for simulation, but he basically waited for a check...
He gets it right, but Kovacs will probably never referee Barcelona ever again.
Oh boy!
Xavi sent off. Rightfully so. It was such an obvious foul. I don't know why he blew up. It is just so bizarre seeing that red card if you just...
Many of them were doing USLC games before. Did people really expect that the replacements were just gonna disappear forever after the lockout?...
So Orsato's potential last ever CL game. You have to think Turpin (or Letexier) are gonna get one of the four semi-final appointments. Marciniak...
[MEDIA] Jon Freemon seems to think that the clock in soccer is the same as in basketball or in college soccer. Once it hits zero, you must blow...
If we see a replacement referee or AR get a couple of on-field assignments the rest of the year and then they are fully in the BU next year, I...
If those two are the only ones to get assignments the rest of the year then obviously it doesn't send any message. If there is a chance that I'm...
Anyone thinking that PRO wouldn't put, at minimum, one replacement back out on an MLS game post lockout is just being naive. They simply have to...
I think it should have been pretty clear/obvious that my question was towards MLS and not levels below MLS.
So Tahini is the first replacement official to get an assignment post lockout? Was Harms a replacement official? Wonder how many more...
I think whatever "rules" we thought there were when it comes to assigning in the CL and really international tournaments have all gone out the...

Had no idea that Ivan Bebek is still around. He was a fourth official at EURO 2008.
Obviously not, but it works for Taylor and works for Webb. Asking for anything else at this point is just unrealistic.
Surely that is the first time Messi did something like that to a referee and only because he was a Musician instead of a full time referee? Right?...
I agree with your post 100%. However, I do disagree with you on this part above. I do think there were sections within PSRA and their supporters...
No. I meant more than two articles (with one behind a paywall that also contained quotes from various people within the league that said they...
