Intense Game in Columbus Leads to 2 Red Cards to the Technical Staff!

[@lukestraub4561]

As a Columbus fan it wasn’t any of the calls they showed that upset Nancy. It was inconsistent calls throughout the match. BOTH WAYS.NYCFC got screwed as well. Sergii Boiko lost complete control of the match and should never officiate in this league again

[@OliverOren]

As an nycfc fan thank you for this comment..... every other colombus fan is making it sound like there was 4 missed pens and every yellow was the wrong call

[@TheClhWarrior]

​@@OliverOren Most of the community I think has been saying this same thing. I think there were more bad calls against Columbus but there were a number of times when something would happen to NYCFC and I would say to myself "What the hell was that? Why?"

[@joshczerpak8669]

So terribly inconsistent. Calling things that didnt need to be called. Not calling the things that needed to be called. He started losing credibility just a few minutes in with the first foul I believe it was. I was on the further side of the stadium so not too easy to see up close. But letting nycfc goalie continue to waste time and not add anything on to that blows my mind. I was 6 rows behind the nycfc for the second half, and watched the AR go to him before the half started and warn him about getting the ball out. There were calls missed that would have favored nycfc as well, possibly a couple calls that had no true advantage, yet it was given. Overall it is still harder to see the calls when you are at the game, but judging by the reactions of the crowd, you can tell that was a very poorly managed game. I am not a pro ref, but I have spent about 10 years reffing off and on, and I have had a game get out of hand, but never to that level. It can snowball very fast if you start to become inconsistent with your calls.

[@codyparks5543]

Right. I knew this is EXACTLY what this show would do. Hardly even show the real issues as hand and just justify how everything the ref did was accurate. What an absolute joke this segment is. Although admittedly I'm also still not convinced the foul on Yeboah wasn't a penalty. But yeah bad, inconsistent calls all the way around.

[@lonewolf4429]

MLS, The FA and FIFA have gone way overboard with this "outside the silhouette" nonsense...any ball that is drilled into a defender from less than five yards away should never be an offense as there is no time to react. Are players supposed to run or jump with their arms at their sides the whole game?

[@masclark30]

Disgusting to see the terrible officiating in the Crew vs NYCFC get praise here. Nancy isn't a hothead so his reaction here should tell you something. If the contact on Yeboa and Diaz is too soft then so is the contact from Cucho. I'm really not sure he even makes contact as Chanot picks multiple locations to say he was hit. It was a terrible performance from the officiating, they looked completely lost the entire game. It's no wonder things got out of hand.

My guess is that the segments are recorded at different times and the mic is not in the same location when they restart. So much is done remote that I'm sure it's a headset just moved up or down an inch. Feels like that could be something tested and handled though.

[@natebowling]

The official league KZbin channel is telling us the refs blew at least four calls this week, fascinating.

[@MrCho14]

There are dozens (easily) of missed calls in every league every weekend. I'm not sure why this is 'fascinating'. Oh, and this isn't unique to soccer. NBA has missed calls all the time as well. It's part of sports for a variety of non-conspiracy and non-therefssuck reasons.

​@@MrCho14 Your fallacy is, "Tu Quoque." Just because other refs make mistakes doesn't excuse these refs. Please try again. Is someone paying you?

@@prime157 I'm not sure you know what "tu quoque' means. It certainly doesn't apply here.

[@dtravisspins]

In the Houston vs SKC game there were audible instances of "the chant" on the broadcast multiple times. What is MLS' policy concerning that and how are referees instructed to handle it?

How can she say “all eyes are on Major League Soccer, people are looking up to this game, looking up to what the pros are doing, and bring it back to the youth game” and then not call out the very bad reffing of this game. Is this also not being brought back to the youth game??

[@MrCho14]

How the players and coaches reacted to what the think are bad calls, right or wrong, is what she was calling out. At no level is it okay to throw something at an official. Professionals need to do better. You don't see this in the NBA or NFL (okay, someone will have an example, but referee verbal/physical abuse is rare in comparison to professional soccer/MLS.)

[@Hesyourlifelight]

@@MrCho14 I’m not debating that, I agree that the reaction wasn’t good, but the fact they NEVER publicly criticize the refs in these games is wild to me since they can literally control how a match is played.

[@MrCho14]

@@Hesyourlifelight Who never publicly criticizes? PRO often states what they believe calls should have been. Even this segment, Christina stated she disagreed with calls. I think the issue from that standpoint is that people are extremely bias in their opinions if they have an association with either team AND if they don't they are very ignorant of the actual laws of the game as opposed to how things are called in their Sunday beer league and/or kids' U14 game. Then they come here screaming and yelling about everything and anything even when they are 100% wrong.

[@prime157]

How can she say that? Nepotism.

[@MrCho14]

@@prime157 Not sure what you're referring to. It seems to be an incomplete thought.

[@1signalstrength]

MLS refs are so spectacularly bad. I can't believe we let them get away with it.

[@chriswhetton3584]

Referees, pundits, etc. should all take some course in biomechanics. That way they would actually know what a natural position is. All of this “making himself bigger” and outside his silhouette nonsense doesn’t make sense from an actual movement sense. All I see are players having to learn to move in unnatural positions to avoid getting called for hand balls.

[@chriswhetton3584]

I would be more ok if we just made any touching of the hand as a handball over this inconsistent mess.

[@th3awak3ning10]

If you can't even pronounce our coaches name right and can't see how a defender ducking his head down when a player is setting up a bicycle kick, you probably should be doing these Christina. Defending that ref immediately discredits you. But goof job avoiding all the calls he made blatantly wrong

[@th3awak3ning10]

Also, the Yeboah penalty? Just admit you're blind and move on

[@MrCho14]

Sorry, but you not understanding the laws of the game and referencing some local youth or beer league local interpretation doesn't make an actual National Level referee wrong.

[@prime157]

​@@MrCho14 Sorry, just because you simp doesn't mean you're accurate.

[@prime157]

"We investigated ourselves and found no wrong-doing." This is an atrocious understanding of the NYCFC v Crew game. The only outcome of this review is that future games will be WORSE. The condonation of poor officiating only endangers all of the MLS players. The absurdity of this review hurts the sport as a whole, but also makes the MLS a laugh stock. Simply reviewing the calls made is a silly at best. It's irresponsible, disingenuous, and quite frankly... Not smart. The entire game tells a completely different story, and every player on that field was at risk of injury do to Sergii's poor performance. Also, the slippery slope argument against the crew trainer is only going to enforce that behavior by ignoring how bad Sergii officiated that game. Furthermore, these power-hungry people protecting their colleagues poor performance screams CORRUPTION. The whole situation smells of nepotism. So, why? Pathetic and sad.

I hate how bias and defensive she is to the referees. Acts like they can do nothing wrong ever. And even when the referee in the New England game she refused to say he made a bad call but instead said "PRO determined that goal should have standed" get her off IR

[@KorbinX]

I wonder if she is related to Ted Unkel, the Angel Hernandez of PRO.

[@prime157]

Nepotism. Thank you for explaining corruption so clearly!

[@4400seriesFAN]

I disagree with you only for the handball in the Free Kick. This is not a PK. Other than that, we agree.

[@prime157]

They could have spent 15 minutes dissecting the Crew Vs. NYCFC game. They didn't. She doesn't deserve praise. She's corrupt.

[@Zg8291]

The MLS will continue to receive justified disrespect until the officiating is fixed. The non-calls and bad calls by “professional” referees is inexcusable. Everyone makes mistakes, but on what planet could your job be to know the rule book like the back of your hand, then be able to go to 4k video (with the ability to rewind and watch in slow mo) and STILL get it wrong?!

[@klenzgaming]

SKC should have been yellow'd for time wasting.

where was the Ted Unkel reviews?

[@patrickcooke577]

[@andrewdingman8545]

Alright, the Crew vs NYCFC game had some terrible calls but in my book, they all deserved red. In my opinion, if you do anything to the referees, you most likely deserve a card. I am an NYCFC fan so this will be bias. I still think the ref was definitely helping us but the outcome is still the same, Haaks goal was horrible defending but so was your goal. I do think the penalty should have been called on Turnbull and it was still bad officiating but if you do anything to the ref you should be sent off

[@prime157]

What did they do to the refs?

[@MatthewPack]

Can we get Christina to do these every week!! So much better than Weibe

[@thomasirwin4099]

Hey, not to be harsh, but 1) check your audio before hitting publish. The Revs review sounded like the mic was across the room, and 2) "should OF stood" in the graphic?! C'mon. "Should HAVE stood", and one doesn't have to be an English major to catch that. This needs to be better, y'all. I repeat, not trying to be harsh here, but this is a league on the rise in the US, and that kind of stuff isn't a good look. Otherwise, nice work!
