    Darn. Just when Gregg Berhalter was getting that pesky hand surgically removed from his forehead, too...

    And you can also thank refs past for not having games abandoned at the dungeon that you people call a stadium.

    Sorry, pal. I'm into peace and love and all that. But I'll always remember the treatment that our boys have received in Central America's Switzerland.

    Remember that a month earlier Prendergast sat back and did nothing while the Mexican Folkloric Ballet did a karate exhibition on Claudio Reyna at the US Cup. Claudio should have nutter the prick then.

    I originally thought this, and then I read the following passage:

    Prendergast hopes to become an officiating instructor with world governing body FIFA.

    "My aim has always been to become a FIFA instructor and that's what I am planning to do," he said.

    Yikes.

    No truth to the rumor that his whistle will be on display at Saprissa.

    Good bye maggot. Still have a few other refs in concacaf that need to take an early out.

    How about a testimonial at The Vet!Stage a game with CR in December and Peter can wear a santa hat. 1st 25,000 fans get free beer and a bobble head Peter P.(made of die cast metal perfect projectile from the 700 level at the Vet)It'll be like CR philly fans always urinate in the stands just need to bottle it and heave at the CR bench or good ole Pete.It'll be so much fun too see the second body bag game at the Vet ala soccer's version.

    hey! take it easy, will ya? idk man say that at the half field point with a packed saprissa stadium ready for 2006 qualifying
     
  15. Prendergast sucked on the whistle in the '99 Champion's Cup game between the FIRE & Alajuela too. That Balkan striker body slammed CJ Brown to the turf, then set up the Alajuela goal. The FIRE lost on PKs. It must be those envelopes slipped under the door of the ref's dressing room.
     
  16. Throw in a pre-game ice storm as well. Let's hope FIFA files that resume in the circular file.

    Don't let the door hit yer arse on the way out.

    Maybe the quality of CONCACAF referees will be increased with his absence.
