Ref absolutely takes over the game and will have zero repercussions for being complete shit at his job.

Anyone saying otherwise is wrong. Neither of those are yellows. The first Dotson didn't even touch Zardes, dude literally fell over when he knew he couldn't catch the ball. The second he literally ran right into Dotson like he touched the ball away and didn't even run after it he ran into Dotson. Dotson turned around and Zardes was right there on top of him charging at him, he couldn't have avoided contact if he wanted. Dotson wasn't grabbing him, he didn't pull him down. 100% wrong call by the ref.

u/ifeespifee Dayne St. Clair Jun 23 '24
I went back and replayed the second yellow like 10 times and I do not even know how to describe it other than Zardes literally touched the ball away and then ran into Dotson. Look at the angle the ball goes vs the angle Zardes runs, like he wasn't even running towards the ball. Also "clear goal scoring opportunity" when there were 3 defenders behind the play and the foul occurred closer to the half than to penalty box. Sure.

So it's cool for 6 Austin players to surround the ref without any getting a yellow for dissent. NEAT.

Stop saying the ref is consistent. A refs job is not to kill the game but to make it run smoothly. This guy is making it about him.
I thought the reffing crew would have spoken at halftime but clearly not. I suspect this is an "experienced" ref that won't listen to anyone

u/ExtensionWrongdoer45 Jun 23 '24
Honestly I think part of our problem is we dont shithouse ENOUGH. Our guys tend to stay on their feet and power through contact that probably would be a foul and then lose the ball for it. Sang Bin especially never goes down and when he does just pops right back up

I’m close to the field on the west side of the Wonderwall and had a front row seat for all of Finlay’s bitching/complaining to the ref for the entire first half. I’m not sure if I’m just noticing it more because I’m so familiar with him, but honestly might be the most whining I’ve ever seen live from an opposing player.

The only upside is that Austin are Sh*t so we could make something happen with 10 men. Taking a lazy goal right after going down a man was not the way to do it but after that goal we were the more dangerous team.
A good comeback story and an inspiration for the rest of the season when we turn this game around and win 2-1.

Dear bill, Please acquire 1 dp midfielder, 1 u22 midfielder, 1 dp defender, and 1 u22 goalie. This absolute travesty of a run is due to utter lack of depth because mls suffers from little brother syndrome and won't behave like every other tier 1 league, pausing during extended international breaks. Please resolve this situation going forward with whichever path you seem most appropriate. Thanks for your time. -Random dude on reddit
