Real Salt Lake: Referees reverse call on would-be Real score
5 comments | Read story
Not Offside, don't jump on the "MLS Officiating sucks" bandwagon, because it doesn't (even FIFA agrees). Frankly, MLS referees are the scapegoats for teams who can't score/win and the uninformed spectators need someone to blame for their problems (when in fact they should look in the mirror for the biggest problem). Educate and think for yourself.
RSL should protest the game just so the league has to admit they blew the call. The side official should at least be called out for being an idiot.
All that being said: RSL stop kicking wild 30 yard shots. You can't put them on goal so knock it off!
All this blame goes to the ref (who in my opinion got the call right, but how he called it was horrible.) when really it should go to beckerman and his dumb move of reaching to get another goal himself.
The biggest problem I have with the AR is that he had appeared to award the goal by running back up the line, then hesitated (ironically at this time the play was showed on the jumbotron) and then signals for the center to come over. Ok, so he is trying to get the call right, but in a total wrong way. Also, his excuse is pathetic. How does he think that the ball just magically changes direction...?
And yes, MLS officials are horrible. Not because of the calls they make, but because of their lack of consistency
