Real Salt Lake: RSL's Kreis suspended one game for comments to News

So, will Robin Fraser be the coach, then? Give us the whole story, please!

Not a smart move on Kreis' part. This is a giant waste. The league has to protect its referees, and will not, can not, respond to tirades like this from league coaches.

You've earned it, Jason. Better hope the team doesn't suddenly come to life without you, or you might be needing to fax a resume to Scott Garlick's Real Estate Emporium and Hair Salon in Florida.

you all know he will just whip out his cell phone and be in constant contact with whoever is "running" the team on the sidelines. This really isnt that big of a deal, maybe it could even help. now he can see the game from a different angle and try to make adjustments that way

All though it sucks that Kries will be suspended for his comments sometimes you have to speak the truth and that's exactly what he did. Every year one of the major concerns going into the MLS season is officiating and the commissioner and league officials promise that it will get better. While it might be better from one the league first started it is still just plain awful and I'm glad Kries had the gall to say what all the coaches and players and the league think and feel because it's true officiating in the MLS is just horrible. Maybe Kries's comments won't have an impact on what happens but at least he let it be knows his feelings and his frustrations and maybe this will motivate the team to start taking games into their own hand and not worrying about what horrible calls will be made that day. But keep it up, lets stay unbeaten at home all season. GO RSL!!!

Okay, the league does have to protect officials and it seems pretty predictable for home fans to be jaded when calls go against them. This being said,RSL has been on the receiving end of a lot of really bad calls. Jason voiced frustrations that every ReAL fan has expressed in the past few games. At times it looked like officials were hen pecking.

Believe me, it is not only RSL fans that have been complaining about these referees.
