Smith was celebrating facing the stands, someone on the Minnesota sideline started pushing him, starting the tomfoolery. Now into the 100th minute.
The VAR machinery's getting a workout today. I credit the MN fans for not throwing anything at Smith. They behaved better than the bench.
Red card to Smith, and to two? players from MN's bench. Coach dismissed. I guess the league will come up with more.
Minnesota lost to the Rapids at home. They are bad and should feel bad. They should feel very, very bad.
Using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures I assume, but that seems a stretch for just yelling at the crowd.
To go back to Jackson's goal, very Rapids like play by the Minnesota defender. He hit a deadfish header backpass that went right to Jackson.
Ok, time to go. Reffed two matches this morning, 1 to go this evening, in the cold / snow / change of weather.
So . . . keeping Boli and Gashi in the witness protection program for most of the season was an effective Hudsonian strategy because . . . why?
Boxall had the bad header backpass to Jackson. So he basically looked bad on both goals. Now I'm sure the Rapids will trade for him.
Minnesota ended both of our winless streaks. (A draw with Chicago ended the 8-loss streak a week before the Minn game at the Dick.)
