  1. When somebody pulls a shirt, in my opinion the referee doesn’t need to consider how hard the pull was. Unlike a border line shove or rough tackle, there is no reason to pull a shirt other than to cheat. Red card every time there is a shirt pull. If you don’t like it, don’t pull shirts. That’s not part of the game.

  2. Refereeing is NOT hard when you have the assistance of video review. It amazes me that calls like the Frei red card still happen.

    Leads me to believe more and more in the MLS fixing matches conspiracy.

  3. You didn't go in depth about it, but I think the second yellow on Chara is way too harsh. I'd give him a warning because he tugs Atuesta way before he falls down, and when he put his knee on the ground, there was no contact at all on Atuesta. There was minimal contact on Atuesta, I was surprised that Chara got a yellow instead of Atuesta for simulation.

  4. My takeaway from the Frei play is that the double jeopardy rule needs work. Not only because judging whether someone was making an honest play for the ball is very difficult and sometimes impossible, but also because the rule lacks proportionality. Currently, in the box, a jersey tug by a defender when an attacker still has to beat the keeper is a more severe offense than a keeper desperately lunging for the ball, coming nowhere close, and preventing the attacker from tapping the ball into the goal.

  5. I bag on weibe all the time for his flip flopping and occasional horrible takes. So I feel I have to admit it when he gets it right too. This week was spot on. He was right about the RSL call. I also thought red for Frei when watching live but I can see how maybe it should be yellow. Well done Weibe. Some tough calls this week.

  6. The Orlando player would have had a clear shot in the box about 12 yards out. Why does it have to be a straight-on shot opportunity? He had a high-probability shot on a breakaway, stolen by an intentional foul. This is hurting the game. We want to see the shot. We need a tougher rule. Same with all the flagrant late hits after passes, it's a bad example for the youth to hit or grab intentionally as part of the game plan.

  7. Why would Frie’s red be reversed? He reached up to the opponent’s knee? If we look at intent at the time of decision to make a play and not at the results, Portland’s goalie should have not received a red two weeks ago, yet he did with no reversal. A lot of yellows, reds and general fouls would never be called. I feel Andrew Wiebe’s commentary on Frie’s red is very contradictory with his own commentary on many other plays he reviews. Reffing is hard!!!

  8. If referees would just call any clutching and grabbing, as holding. Clutching and grabbing is an intentional act that is yellow card worthy. Trying to apply gradations to what should be carded and what shouldn't be is just a plain ignorance of the rules of the game.

  9. Could the call on Arango potentially have been two yellows? One for the foul and another one just moments later for the kick? I doubt many would call it like that but I could see a world where the law could be interpreted that way

  10. Nothing on the Miami New England game???? Really? I was hoping for some reviews on Miamis not called fouls. Theres one where Nacho Gil is American Footbal style tackled. Shoulder into his side and the defenders arm around his knee. Right before Miamis 3rd goal Vrioni gets brought to the ground from behind and the defender lays on top of him pinning him down and nothing was called. Andrew Wiebe tweeted some clips from the game and couldn't comment on those?!?!?

  11. How in the hell they overturned this I can not understand. He's the last man and moves his hand up and straight into the players knee after the ball passed him. It's intentional, it's a red card, no contest.

  12. You know, you can update the video without deleting the comments. Anyway, we now know that the bad ref call against Frei was a bad ref call. If he’d have left it a yellow and let VAR update he wouldn’t have looked so bad.

    Oh, and we get the full Chara sequence – sets new records for games played AND yellow cards given every time he steps on the pitch. Thank you for your ā€œserviceā€ šŸ˜‚

  13. Orlando city is causing their own missery, but I feel like there should also be considerstion for McGuirres talent as he could have easily beat those defenders from that angle as he has done many times before and is confortable scoring from that angle.

  14. I said on the other version of the video that maybe we need to stop going to super slow-mo on a lot of these. It can really make it look like someone is doing something tney aren't doing.

    And it just came down that Frei's red card has been rescinded. The independent review panel determined that he was making a play on yhe ball.

  15. Since Stroud is scoring from that position without a foul from Frei almost 100%, and the pen is only a 78% probability, Frei has to be sent off. Otherwise he has an incentive to always make the foul, and the breaking the rules cant be allowed to become profitable.

  16. It’s always a good day when Chara finally gets the yellows he deserves. Every other game he could deserve 2 yellows but the refs are too scared to dish them out
