FC Dallas - San Jose Earthquakes (Wednesday, 6/25) pre/in/postgame thread [R]

Unless the league reviews and rescinds it, which they should.

 

I don't know if they can review a yellow card.

 

Once you asked the question I realized I didn't know either. So I looked it up and the answer is a limited yes.

The last bullet point under "MLS Appeals Process" for what is eligible is:

 

A very limited "yes".

 

Actually the perfect description of the event.

 

Right?! When I read this I thought, this rule was made for this exact situation!

 

I assumed "suspension due to yellow card accumulation" had to do with exactly that and not a "suspension" due to a 2nd yellow in a game and resulting red, resulting in a 1-game suspension for red card. I suppose it could apply to either case but the latter seems like a bit of a stretch. Harkes is not going to be suspended for yellow card accumulation proper, he's being suspended for getting a red card.

 

Well, that could be the way to read this. If it is then bullet two is our guy:

Either way it seems reviewable.

 

Oh I didn’t see the other bullets since you said it was applicable in a limited way and quoted just the last bullet.

 

Will they suspense Rivas?

 

On behalf of bad calls made against the Quakes? Heh....

 

Yeah, I hadn't read that last bullet as possibly over several games leading to a suspension, so I grabbed it because it sounded so dead on.

 

Is it just me, or are those AIBA pics starting to get more and more disturbing???

 

They are very creepy.
