There's no reason to give a warning first...and he did...he dived once already and Toledo told him to knock it off. I don't have any problem with Toledo's cards so far, he might miss a foul our two but that doesn't make him terrible.
I'm really glad Toledo cracks down on Dissent. He's one of the only refs that does it...I'm tired of seeing Landon Donovan tell the refs to "F off" every two seconds. And Beckham getting in their faces complaining and disparaging them. Need to clean up this stuff in the MLS.
See now that call was wrong...Harris is fighting for the ball just like the defender...let them play.
JESUS yeah that's awful. And to do that against Phelan. That's Up and In...doesn't matter intent according to the directives handed down by US Soccer that's a Straight Red.
The comments about the refs were SPOT ON BRUTAL BRUTAL BRUTAL Cards left right and centre, lost complete control of the game. 1st red card to Koffie was a mistake, a yellow sure, but a straight red?! No intent, wasnt even looking at the player, went up for a 50/50, the guy was fine, and no malicious attitude. It was a collision that happens game in game out in the likes of the epl, and a straight red? Now Hassli gets a second red for removing his jersey after scoring a pk, the problem was, he had a second jersey on underneath HAHAHAH
He wasn't fine he was hurt. The elbow struck him square in the head...that is a red card. http://www.ussoccer.com/Referees/Resource-Center/Zone-3.aspx There you go you can read Contact Above the Shoulders. The elbow most certainly endangered the safety of the player.
Two red cards, eh? How are you guys liking Baldomero "I want Canadian teams to lose every match" Toledo so far, then?
What's going on? Why didn't the coaches tell their player you cannot remove your jersey...I can't believe that.
That was possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen a player do on a soccer pitch. You're on a yellow, you're team is already a man down and Hassli does what he can only get an automatic yellow for. It's stunning.
What a bonehead move by Hassli taking off his shirt knowing that he already had a yellow card. He has a red card in each of the games he has played in so far… don’t get me wrong he is good player but he needs to mature.
I know right? I can't believe it...don't players even bother to learn the Laws anymore? I can remember when everyone knew them I guess we just shun reading now.
Man, this ref is insane, handing out red cards like candy. Hopefully the Caps can hold out for the win.... Edit: Crap.... What a joke of a game and a ref. The Caps just cant catch a break!
I know, the only thing you could do in response to that is to just shrug and laugh, thats how mental it was.
All I gotta say is HOLY TROLLEDO! I didn't know whether to come here or to go to the Revs board to vent, but I decided here cause the Revs are really a pitiful team and they would ban me from there. Anyhow, it's not about the teams... it was about Trolledo's game, what a freaking mess!
A dumb move by this guy but ripping your shirt off is a classic goal celebration. FIFA needs to liberate the bare chest ban! Let these guys celebrate, it's part of the fun.
