REFEREE: Michael Kennedy. Ht. 4'11'' Wt. 133 lbs. MLS Career: 64 games; FC/gm: 32.9; Y/gm: 4.0; R: 9; pens: 29 Games involving United: P9 W3 L4 T2; FC/gm: 39.0; Y/gm: 5.0; R: 4; pens: 6 Games involving Wizards: P16 W6 L7 T3; FC/gm: 33.6; Y/gm: 4.4; R: 0; pens: 11 SAR (bench): Thomas Supple; JAR (opposite): Adam Wienckowski; 4th: Ken Kaplan SUSPENDED: none WARNINGS: DC: Josh Gros (20 CP) ... KC: Jose Burciaga Jr. (20 CP) Mr. Kennedy makes his long-awaited return to RFK Stadium, after what can only be described as a league-enforced mandate to keep him away from certain fans in the supporters section Seriously though, wasn't he complained against by Rongen (or Hudson) and removed from doing DC games for a while? He did do MLS Cup last year (against the same team, too!) You can find that thread [thread=110167]here[/thread] in the big ref thread repository. He won't card you if you are shorter than him, so Kuffor is safe, and Freddy might not ever get that tall. Namoff may have been safe if he wasn't injured. Everyone else it's "watch out"! 4/9 reds against DC. 11 pens in 16 for the Wiz. 6 in 9 for DC. I'll bet we see one or both. Stay safe, Dema. Thx, Jay!
GOD! He was awfu! He blew call after call... And what was the deal with f-ing us with that PK? Jesus MLS ref's are bush league... (OK OK... So the game hasnt even happened... I just figured I would get this in NOW so I wouldnt have to worry about it later )
Standing bet: It will be 90 degrees at kickoff, and Kennedy will still be wearing a long-sleeve kit. Adam Wienkowski is an up-and-coming AR from Maryland. I've had the good fortune of reffing many games with him.
Throw Kennedy down the well. For our futbol to be free. We will jump and sing for joy. As we have our big par-tee. . . . GM
Don't many of the FIFA's do that? I know Stott does as well. Glad to hear about AW - I was wondering where he was from and about his background.
I thought you meant about MLS Cup last year. Dema didn't handle the ball, Kennedy just hates him. And Esky did handle on that one goal, but Kennedy is so blind he let it go.
Stott wears long-sleeves because he'd look like a stick figure otherwise. Adam just became a National last year. We expect great things from him.
