Guevara Suspended

Guevara Suspended (http://thestar.blogs.com/torontofc/2008/08/guevara-suspend.html)

What did I tell you about MLS and their late-breaking news releases?
At just before 6 p.m. the league sent out word on their decision regarding Amado Guevara:
One game suspension and a $250 fine. That's in addition to the one game suspension and $250 fine he received automatically with his red card Sunday afternoon.
That means he misses Saturday's game in Colorado and the following week's game in New York.
At some point he links up with the rest of Honduras' national team for an Aug. 20 World Cup qualifier against Mexico, so barring anything unexpected he'll return for TFC's Aug. 23 home game against New England.
And if you were one of the few people still holding out hope that Paul Dickov would sign with TFC, here's even more good news for you:
He had signed with Leicester (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11719_3946122,00.html).
So to recap:
No Guevara until late August and no new striker.
Transfer period ends next Friday.
Have a good weekend.

Go ahead and merge/delete this, another thread popped up at the same time

[Ladies Love Julius James]

LOL @ the $500 fine. That's a little over a parking ticket.

[RealG-TFC]

lol next time buddy, next time...

[ChrisLav]

Also on the league's site there is a suspension that I don't think anyone else has seen:

Carmelo Lobue
Toronto FC
Suspension/Fine: 8/9/08 vs. COL, $500
Reason: Dismissal

That's right our trainer got suspended for the August 9th match in Colorado too.

[vergilg]

Time for the youngsters to step in and stake their claim.
Guevarra and Robert have been disappointing for a while, and now Carver has no excuse but to give guys like Heming another shot.

[Bobo]

Was the instigation ever looked in to?

[LucaGol]

Wow, what an awesome year this is turning out to be!

Yaaay TFC.

[Boondaddy]

must have been more serious than I thought....I'm sure he deserved it.

[Raging Reggie]

we should all pitch in a buck and pay for his fine i say.....

[ExiledRed]

we should all pitch in a buck and pay for his fine i say.....

I'm down with that, but for the trainer, not Amado.

[sidney]

There was no need for another game....MLS is bull!!

another game is usually expected with a straight-red (or even 2 yellows in one game)....i don't understand the mystery.

[Carts]

we should all pitch in a buck and pay for his fine i say.....

It'd be a hell of a gesture, if we present TFC with a cheque in the amount of the tariner's or Guevara's fine...
Personally, the one game ban would be enough... The extra game (and another full season's worth) should go to the asshole ref who completely ignored his linesman's input on the play...

Carts...

[giambac]

Your kidding right?

You want us to ante up for a guy who made a bonehead selfish act that cost us the game. Guevera cost us the game and the points and now you want us to pay his fine????

If I was carver or mo I would sit him down for another 2 games. It is selfish plays like his and not playing like a team that has cost us the season.

[Carts]

I don't disagree with dicipline for a player that did a selfish act (which it was, it was provoked but still selfish) BUT, we don't have the luxury of being able to sit down Guevara...

His punishment might have to be getting his asskicked by Whinsper over the next couple of weeks - but we can't go into a game where Guevara is available and not use him...

Guevara might learn what the Canadian term "hurl runs" mean ('bag skate' for the hockey boys) over the next two weeks...

Carts...

[ricciboy]

that is so gay

[Jimmy The Saint]

Paying for the trainer's fine would be classic! I'm in if someone starts the fund...

[CoachGT]

I'm in for the trainer's fine, too!

[Raging Reggie]

i guess the trainers fine it is? how do we go about doing this? Did we pay for a fine before for someone else or am i just imagining things?

[Mark in Ottawa]

$500. fine for speaking out from the bench??
That must have been one hell of a comment :rant:

[Richard D]

Someone find out the trainers email. Tell him to set up a paypal account and we can start to fill it up...

[Richard D]

Im suprised the league didnt review the tapes and give all the fans a $500 fine each for calling the referee a wanker. I have a cheque for them right here if they want it...

[GBV]

LOL @ the $500 fine. That's a little over a parking ticket.

haha or a drinking-a-beer-in-the-parking-lot-how-dare-you? ticket.

[AL-MO]

I am not surprised.

[Keystone FC]

Does anyone know what the trainer actually did to get sent off. I can imagine a few things but an official word on what the reason was for the sending off , other than 'dismissal', would be...well...closure.

LOL!

At least we know his name now!

If they start a collection...I am in. Dude was probably saying what the rest of us were thinking.

[Rochdale]

Carmelo should've keep his mouth shut and just worry about players that get injured. The Toronto player (Brennan) was at least 2 yards off-side and little pee wee let the assistant have it. Read Law 11 before you open your mouth.

[Roogsy]

Is that the play that CBC showed that it was actually onside?

[Dustin]

Shouldn't Guevara, The CAPTAIN of the Honduran national team, be playing in the Olympics?

[SLBuu]

is anyone really surprised........ i was expecting it, really.....

MLS Tacks On One Game To Guevara's Suspension

Toronto FC's Amado Guevara will sit out an extra game following his red card against Dallas last weekend.


http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=809632

Sorry I spelt Guevara wrong in the thread title. Don't know how to correct it

[Roogsy]

The MLS makes me want to pull my nails out with needlenose pliers.

[TFC USA]

Late to the party......I mean FEMA late.

[Roogsy]

LMAO!

Oh man....that IS late!

[Razcle]

Wow....like 6 hours late...damn late night studying Mods please merge or close.

[Roogsy]

I am sure Denime will take care of it when he sees it. He's the mod for this section.

I see you are excited about the Canada game Razcle...I am so stinking disappointed I won't be here for Aug 20.

[GabrielHurl]

This forum makes me want to pull my nails out with needlenose pliers.

I agree with you wholeheartedly Roogsy :hump:

[king10]

Shouldn't Guevara, The CAPTAIN of the Honduran national team, be playing in the Olympics?

the olympics are an u23 tournament only.. while teams are capable of taking 3 over age players.. amado was not chosen or mayb honduras did not take any over age players

[Dustin]

Well, I'll be damned, I had no idea. Thanks for the info.

if YOU were Mo or Carver, you'd commit suicide

[Shaughno]

Why anyone would be surprised by this is beyond me.

Straight red very rarely ends up as anything other than 2+ games in the MLS. In this instance he cleaned the guy's clock, so it's a good thing they didn't extend his suspension.

Thank you.

[bee dubya]

I'd like to be able to read more about a review policy. You read about it in EPL all the time so it would be nice to see that the league was reviewing things (says Velez's first yellow) or that TFC could at least appeal decisions. Maybe this is possible but it certainly isn't clear if it happens or not.

[Shaughno]

^^ There's no point in appealing yellow cards anyway. They won't overturn the cards and it just makes you look like a complainer, which the league already thinks Carver is.
