Carver fined after criticizing ref
Not a huge fine, but still...
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/socce...63497959_x.htm
his frustration is understandable... but leagues do have rules regarding what folks can say about refs.
I'm sure he doesn't mind paying $750 to let off some steam.
Hell, I'd donate a toonie every game for the "Carver 'have a go at the refs' fund"...
If 500 of us did it - there'd be $1000 kicking around every match if needed... If not, we donate it to charity - everyone wins!
I'm sure the MLS would love a charity donation made in the name "in case our coach has to rip your shit refs!" movement
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
John Carver's just a blockhead. I mean what is he even talking about. Does he even realize we're the worst prepared team in the entire league? The more he talks, the worse he makes himself look.
... I think his nickname from his Leeds United days deserves resurrecting ... "Concrete Carver"
Not surprised, but whatever, sometimes it needs to be said.
I liked the idea last year of when Carver declined our generosity in paying his fine and the money was donated to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind - a backhanded way of further criticizing the referee.
lets not turn this into the usual fire this and that thread guys...
if so go to one of the other threads that have that...

Really? You find a way to troll in every single thread, don't you? I'd think it would get boring for you, but you somehow manage. Sad, dude. Go find a European team to follow.
Is this or this not a thread to discuss Carver being fined/reprimanded for the umpteenth time?
2+2 = 4
What do you call someone makes the same mistakes repeatedly?
Why do we have to defend this man? He's a boer.
i am not defending him
it was a general warning to people
one thing is discussing the issue, which we all know there is one...
another is trolling and creating shit storms

Great, first thread I create and it's about to get locked because of a troll.
I cheer for a European team already thank you, ... Parma, Serie B. A team that at least had the sense to fire their manager when they were 4th bottom of the table after 7 games this season.
Where are they now, 2nd top, in line for promotion.
dont turn this into a back and forth....
stay on topic or go vent in a pre existing thread....

Honestly, this is getting tiresome.
Please provide me of an example of what I should have posted.
Thread: Carver got fined again
Me: Great news ... I can't wait until he gets fined again.
That better.
I think the fine size is reasonable, honestly, because if you look at the tradition of the game, the coach never ever has any business criticizing referees. It's just the way it is.
I liked Carver's pregame scrum that's up on torontofc.ca. I'm with him -- all good things, including Chivas' streak, come to an end. Hopefully tomorrow! Go TFC!!
again...it was a warning...to everyone!!!

The voice of wisdom, unless you speak Afrikaans.
I think the next fine JC gets should be for boring supporters with his dump and chase approach to football.
keep discussing that in the thread...

Before you get a red card from the site for a while:
Not "master" - "moderator". As in, he MODERATES discussion on this forum, which includes asking people to discuss issues in the appropriate thread.
Simple.

Carts, I love this idea...Hell, I'd donate a toonie every game for the "Carver 'have a go at the refs' fund"...

Carts...
It would at the very minimum make his post-game comments hilarious...
Just have the press conference a series of Yo Mama Jokes coming from Carver against the refs...
Even if your not a supporter of Carver, how can put him down for speaking his mind on a call that was recognized by commentators around the league as obviously wrong when the game was on the line.
When he is frustrated, he vents, but does it in an effective way that gets attention without sounding immature. Good for him.

I agree and disagree at the same time.
Kudos to him for speaking his mind, but I personally thought his rant was a bit ridiculous. I agree with him that the call was bad, and clearly it took us from getting one point to zero.
However, treating that call as if it was the only thing that went wrong for us, was wrong. Our play was pitiful for 90% of the game. Saying we "dominated" the second half, was wrong. We had a couple of quick runs of play, that resulted in goals. The rest of the time, we looked poor.
The refs in MLS are terrible, and I'm glad he isn't afraid of telling that like it is. But using them as a scapegoat for what was ultimately a failing of the TEAM, isn't right.
