Yep. Giaccherini x Larsson was the 1st, plus two more, it's three. And since I only watch these dire teams to see Jozy, that's it for me. Bye all.
I know he let it go too long based on what refs generally do, but I'd much rather see refs change to call it the way he did.
So he got that part right it seems. Still think he shouldn't be allowed the latitude to play advantage on a such a potential game altering call, and I imagine the rule makers will eventually agree.
Why not? I'd much much rather see teams play than watch penalties. Same goes for any type of attacking play where teams keep advantage. The question of DOGSO and advantage though is an interesting one. I don't think I've ever seen advantage played on a red card offense although I'm sure it has happened. I assume he would have given a red even if the goal went in from the run of play, but perhaps not.
Again, if Dowd blows his whistle for the foul right as Wickham manages to get around the keeper and pass it into an empty net, you'd be hollering at him for blowing the whistle too early. The rule is fine as is.
If he's about to round the keeper, then how was there a DOSGO? A red and penalty for DOGSO is frequently criticized for being too punitive without bringing advantage into the discussion. I don't even have an issue with the referee playing advantage and then pulling it back for a penalty. I do have an issue with the referee allowing the play to continue to see if there is a goal scoring opportunity, then sending off a player for denial of goal scoring opportunity. I think there will be serious consideration to this rule, as I believe there was before this incident.
On a positive, i did see jozy smiling and laughing with his teammates on the bench. Was worried he would be sulking.
I had press credentials for the Red Bulls back when Jozy played there. As a 19 year kid, he was more polite, considerate, thoughtful and mature then 30 year olds I know, win or loss. All of the garbage about how mentally weak Jozy is, or how he is a sulking malcontent in the main thread is nonsense.
That's the point. If Dowd calls the foul too early for DOGSO based on the tug and doesn't allow advantage, he might be preventing a goal from being scored. Since Wickham fought through the foul, Dowd needs to let play go to see if the opportunity can still be realized. It wasn't realized and the opportunity pretty much vanished due to the foul, so Cala needed to be sent off. Wait, you have a problem with playing advantage to see if the goal-scoring opportunity still exists and then sending off the player after it's clear the goal-scoring opportunity no longer exists due to the foul? That makes absolutely no sense. This incident has nothing to do with the issues that some people have with the rule, which is, as you said, the red + penalty + suspension being too harsh. Playing advantage has nothing to do with that.
In the states you don't need to "see if there was DOGS" it's all about direction, distance, defender at the moment of the foul. If the player has direction, is in goal scoring distance and has no defenders, it's dogs. There are a lot of really bad drawing in the USSF advice to illustrate. The delay is simply to make sure, like in the Jozy/Arse goal, you don't pull back a goal to give a PK and red card.
The law is "one defender" not including the fouling defender. If that defender is the keeper it is still dogs.
I'm not getting upset about the call one way or the other, but I think its an interesting reffing question.
What does been polite 4 years ago has to do with his current state of mind due to playing issues? If I used to be starter and not anymore I wouldn't be joking with teammates on the bench.
Yes. I have a problem with it. The consequences of DOGSO calls are severe. A straight red and often a penalty as well. The foul should be one that completely ends the play and denies the goal scoring opportunity. If the player still has a chance on goal, I would argue that the foul was not DOGSO worthy (edit: the referee could be allowed discretion here, but I think a rule requiring the referee to stop play immediately for DOGSO would clarify things tremendously for the referee). I understand that's not the rule. I think it should be. For the record, I think your point of view makes sense, but I disagree.
Agree. Jozy seems like a sweet guy, which is terrific, but not in my personal top 10 list of traits I like to see in NT strikers. More so than being just a bad player, he comes off as soft, which no one likes. His Eeyore-like Twitter posts and his cloying interactions with teammates that seem to have no regard for him aren't helping matters.
