One of those is Gantar... remember when he blew the whistle as the ball was literally rolling into an open net? I mean, Freeman's whistle is...
Are you implying playing the sideline cam at 4xs speed on loop wasn't the best choice?
Bookmark this for a response to people hoping (if that's the right word) for a Fail Mary to end the lockout.
No, it was perfect. "Let the reader understand..."
It sounds like everything was handled perfectly, except the announcement. I'd expect the AR to stand at attention if a player was behind the GK...
Going into the wayback machine, as I am sure those in PRO are doing right now as well: In 2014 the lockout was announced at the end of preseason,...
Ok, hear me out. I'm not saying he got bad send downs as retaliation. But look, Marcus was a "replacement referee" and he was the best of them....
Ok, all this has me thinking. If I had to assign games to people who could pass a fitness test (so we just eliminated NISOA officials :), here is...
Also... I also think MLS could go to more of a a pre 2021 NBA model for review. For those of you who don't know, the review was centralized, but...
Marcus deOliveira got his start in MLS by crossing the picket line. Why wouldn't he do it again. Heck, it was practically (if not literally) part...
For the US Open Cup, you've got MLS teams playing mid pack minor league teams in parks and selling 1,000 tickets. Sporting KC flying to Milwaukee...
I actually like all these recommendations, and think they will help. The referee announcement one is the weakest, but hey FIFA liked it at the...

Navarro was in a hard spot because he was assigned CONCACAF games between MLS teams and Mexican teams, and the players felt like he was showing...
Sad about Bazakos.
I've seen others answer this, but I'd add this. In international matches, the expectation would be the officials stay in the tunnel until they are...
I honestly don't think the league cares too much about that. I do think the league cares tremendously about the affect on other teams. There is a...
I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next person, but is it just a little bit possible that PRO assigns the referee of the year to the...
Holy Smokes I just watched the last ten minutes of Vancouver vs. LAFC. That collision by Ford was unbelievable. How in the world he found himself...
The point is that there is a huge difference between a player who opens the locker room door, and stands in the doorway yelling till an employee...
I have snarky an skeptical answers to your question, but since your question was serious, here is the serious answer: US is sort of alone (or...
What jumps out to me from looking at the stats is that of the top 5 referees in the league (and I'm excluding Marrufo b/c of his late season...
I don't think its that difficult to get on the field, if you know the rule and are locked in (yellow is ball, synched to last touch) [ATTACH]
That is embarrassing. People don't mention it here much, but Nesbitt has had some very serious misses in the last two seasons. This one was just a...
ATL @ CIN: I get that the colors are determined by the league, but red vs. orange is dumb dumb dumb. Dickerson did a great job on the game...
