I don’t know if he said something and got it for dissent, or if he was just not getting off the field quickly enough and got it for delaying the game. Either way, he was walking a thin line after that card.
My guess is the card was for delaying. Honestly giving two YCs there would have been wild, but honestly I would have laughed so hard had the ref pulled the trigger. The chewing the shin guard was a nice touch.
As usual Alex Chilowitz has turned a game into a complete clown show. PRO has got to stop putting him in the middle of MLS matches as he clearly doesn't have a clue how to manage a match as the CR.
Harsh IMO. It was a really heated game which saw the home team/fans feeling aggrieved and the visiting team going full CONCACAF on the timewasting. Could have been much uglier.
EVERY game he does gets like that. I've seen him 5-6 times in the last few weeks and every single time it's been a dumpster fire on the field.
Is this the fifth or the sixth Austin home game? I think they've only scored in one. That's jaw-dropping.
As I once heard a sportscaster in the 1970's say: "How long will the honeymoon last if the bride keeps burning the toast?".
Huge win for the Rapids. Yeah, I know, its Austin, but the Rapids went down there with a thin bench and missing half their starting XI and got a win in the heat. Good bounce back from the debacle in Sandy last week.
