No one came to see the referees. Exactly, that's why the referee gave him a red card - the ref needed to step in, be decisive and get the game moving. The players had escalated the conflict and if the ref didn't hand out a red card the teams were going to start taking liberties with each other and the game of soccer was going to become a game of intimidation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-50667552163226569222011-06-22T10:10:48.649-07:002011-06-22T10:10:48.649-07:00By rule, correct, common sense, not a chance.

There is a reason the NFL is changing it's zero-tolerance "head contact" rule to be a bit more forgiving for what are some rediculous calls being made, that were the rules, but uncalled for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-40549237503006358242011-06-21T23:26:50.633-07:002011-06-21T23:26:50.633-07:00That announcer being idiots seem to run from sport...That announcer being idiots seem to run from sport to sport because we see announcers in baseball misstating a rule and interjecting their opinions into the game and now we see it also happens in soccer...think this is just by chance? my money is on noAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-67858343423980103622011-06-21T15:29:32.126-07:002011-06-21T15:29:32.126-07:00This is actual a sport I know something about havi...This is actual a sport I know something about having been an upper level soccer official for 9 years now. <br /><br />Henry clearly slaps Moffatt in the back of the head (no matter how slight it may have been). USSF (FIFA) demands officials take contact to the head (in any manner) with utmost seriousness especially with all of the attention paid to concussions over the past 5 years. Good spot by the AR, proper application by the team of Salazar and the AR and an obvious idiot of an announcerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-79163133908991388462011-06-21T12:06:23.890-07:002011-06-21T12:06:23.890-07:00Wow, when did Hawk Harrelson start doing soccer?Wow, when did Hawk Harrelson start doing soccer?jhdhttp://albertaforestproducts.canoreply@blogger.com
