terrific insight there fellows. I for one am a little nervous considering the recent run of form, and JC's profligacy. We need a win, but I'll be happy with a draw (unless it's Chicago who nips in at the post).

hope this effing referee gets his self evaluation right...wanker





Each referee that works an MLS game receives a videotape of the match immediately following the game. The referee is required to view the video and write a self-evaluation of his performance. The report is submitted to USSF electronically and can be viewed by the Coach / Mentors, US Soccer or, where appropriate, CSA staff and MLS officials. The final evaluation is discussed with the referee by the Coach/Mentor. When a referee receives an evaluation that is not acceptable, the referee is notified by the Coach/Mentor, and the performance is discussed in depth. The referee is also contacted by a member of the US Soccer or, where appropriate, CSA Staff, and they talk about the game and their performance.
When a referee has an unacceptable performance at any level, their assignment status at that level is reviewed. When it occurs in MLS, the referee is provided with professional guidance and opportunities to demonstrate the skill sets required for the Professional Level prior to being allocated further MLS games.

Ricketts for James, Brennan moves back to LB.

TicTacTabarnack
07-12-2008, 08:28 PM
well ... 1-0 after the first half.

We can pretty much sum up the first half with a missed call which should have been a PK for us + a shot off the post for Edu. Poor officiating as per usual ... lots of pressure by chicago and weak defence by us for a few minutes and carver trying something different with a 3-5-1 formation to start which he changed back to 4-4-2 on the fly.

07-12-2008, 08:29 PM

Just coming here for the half-time, I'm glad someone also sees how the referee is screwing us again. It gets repetitive but there's no getting away from it: there was no call on the guy who fouled Guevara resulting in the goal and the penalty that wasn't given. And on top of that, Edu gets a yellow for getting cut down in the box. This is sickening and it doesn't make me feel better that Chicago have had stupid calls go against them too because they didn't cost them a goal and a penalty.

On to the players: it seems we can't string 3 passes together to get something going. I don't mind that Carver was experimenting to find some way to make the team better but it hasn't worked and good on TFC for their on-the-fly reorganization at around the 30th minute or so. Robert up front is different and unexpected but I understand that Carver has to do something: he can't play Cunningham because we might as well be playing a 4-6-0 and that would be just as good. That and TFC should avoid playing Cunningham to avoid further lowering his stock for the coming trade/release/execution or what have you.

All in all, I'll be happy if we can get a point in this disaster of everything.

You missed a tough first half though.

Edu was booked for simulation in the box on a CLEAR PK for us.

They scored on some weak defence as we were playing a 3-5-2 so Carver has changed things in the 2nd half.
