Generally, I am in favor of any kind of smack upside the haid to Ben Olson, but this, um, this is more than a bit ridiculous. They could fine and suspend him for whining, belly-aching to the refs, for promoting thug-ball, for having a simian countenance that suggests a heritage rich in species diversity, anything.... But because the ball-kid screwed up?
MLS updates security measures at all 20 stadiums April 19, 2016, 7:34 PM EDT Colin Stephenson Contributor Doesn't sound like anything different than what they already do at Gillette...
After the week that included a red for the wrong guy, you'd think MLS would be a little more sensible than this. Too much to expect I guess.... However, if it had to happen to somebody, Ben is a great choice.
Both Jose Goncalves and Juan Agudelo in training today. Good sign for the #NERevs ahead of the weekend trip to D.C.— Jeff Lemieux (@jeff_lemieux) April 21, 2016

Good overview of the game from SB nation. It seems odd that a lineup with so many of the same players can be so inconsistent! C'mon Revs...play your best! http://www.blackandredunited.com/dc...asy-injury-report-jose-goncalves-juan-agudelo
Soft pk but Watson again makes a dumb decision to foul a guy in the box. DC scores on a pk, 1 0 Second week in a row. Hope he doesn't become a liability because the revs can't keep spotting leads on the road and expect to get many positive results.
A couple early injuries - For the revs, Tierney pulled something or stepped awkwardly and came off for Woodberry. Espindola then came off for Saborio. In terms of stats, the revs have about 55% possession and 6 shots, but tellingly have 0 shots on goal.
Watson does not make smart decisions. DC's goalkeeper has zero control of his box and very little experience. So, it makes sense that the Revs have no shots on goal to test him.
It is going to be a long season without Jermaine Jones, can't see where the wins are going to come from this year.
3 shots on target for the game; with 55 % possession; that's pathetic. Even if we scored on all the shots on target, the best we could hope for is a tie!!
Things have been trending in the wrong direction for the past 16 months. This just can't last much longer.
Haha come on now Mike, do you really think the powers that be have the humility and foresight needed to acknowledge changes need to be made - and the guts to actually make them? SSDD.
