You all have heard my opinion on this subject in the past so I will not subject you to it again...
Lucky you!

Agree 110% Scholesy!

I'm thinking that the streamers are going to have to go away, so that the morons throwing other items can be more easily spotted.

My biggest complaint about the east side assistant is he didn't raise his flag ONE single time against Colorado, but repeated called offsides on RSL during the second half. Like he was using different rule books in each half.

Then suddenly an entire bag of confetti knocked somebody else clean off his feet. I looked up to see all of the Loyalists and RCB laughing their heads off.

Seriously? Who gets knocked clean off their feet by confetti? Must have been a very small female, right? I can't imagine paper shreads in any amount or at any velocity knocking a man off his feet. I wasn't there, but if fact it was a male, I totally understand why the Loyalists and RCB wer laughing their heads off.

I liked Wayne Scholes comments on the radio. Something similar to this, "Well, there is one bright side to this game. It's the last game of the season which means we wont have to see these refs again. Unfortunately they don't go to a school to learn how to get better in the off-season."

Great colour (brit spelling) commentary Wayne. I love it!

Imagine a garbage bag stuffed to capacity. 🙂

Who gets ticked about a roll of toilet paper being thrown at them? Who gets hurt by a cup of water thrown onto the pitch?

If you're preaching a rule to people, try following it even if it's "funny" not to.

I admit I was laughing, and laughing hard. It was about 1/4 the size of a regular garbage back. I saw it dropped (not thrown) on Enema and it was as though he got blind sided by a middle linebacker. I chuckle even thinking about it.

Yes, it was an adult man. I think he was just knocked off balance because he didn't see it coming. And if it can knock an adult off-balance, imagine the joy it could have inspired if had hit the trophy directly, instead of being two feet away. The joys of soccer!

Yes, but there is a refereeing committee that can send them back to the USL.

Would people "get it" if we broke off with a "Are you Palomino in disguise" song?

Spencer Checketts was talking about the bad calls in the post game show and he mentioned something along the lines of "There's nothing we can do about it."

But there is......Dave/Steve/Dean/John; I'm about 99%; sure can nominate someone to the refereeing committee. I think that there are coaches, refs, executives and players on it.

Once in a while on MLSNet.com; you see an article from the director of officials explaining a call. Maybe it's only interesting to a Grade 8 like me.

But I'd love to know if we reported last night's Enigmatic Offside Decisions & what the result was.
