    Do like the playoff system better than the plain old table finish? All your strategy seems to argue for the old NA "sneak into the playoffs and win the league". Is that your personal preference?

    Of course not.

    Hate the playoff system.

    But we have a playoff system. So, play to win that.

    Yeah.

    Sorry to be a bear but I didn't want people to get the wrong idea about you.

    Here's to earning the bye in the pussplops.

    I don't even think Jozy puts his foot down without help via the foul. I think he was reaching for the ball, not planting for positional advantage.

    That video is pretty damning.

    Should be noted that Matt Doyle of mlssoccer.com agrees with the ref on the call. He provides his explanation (so of course his POV) towards the end of the clip.

    I think it's Simon Borg, not Doyle. If you look at the other penalties he would have given, he is totally inconsistent. And his reasoning is wrong: " if you are between a defender and the ball you cannot put your foot down in an effort to play the ball" is his logic. Yay right Borg, keep on trucking.

    If you're between a defender and the ball, you can't put your foot down? Wtf kind of rule is that..? The defender tried to hoof the ball out, but kicked the back of jozy's leg instead. Madness.

    Instant replay is Borg. He was turfed of this bit at the beginning of the season for being combative but the segment wasn't getting as many clicks. So he was brought back and has been preening.

    those weren't the words Borg used - I forget what he said, exactly, but that's what they meant. He essentially said it was a foul on Jozy because Sapong had already decided tokick the ball. So what he was saying was as I said : if you are between a defender and a ball, you cannot put your foot down in an effort to play the ball. It's so obviously nonsensical and shows people are trying to hard to justify the referees call. Plus isn't Sapong an attacker? No wonder he might make a clumsy challenge in the box.

    To me it looks like Jozy leaves a foot outside of his body which is what makes it all debatable. If his foot is under him, he's either clearly running, or making a play on the ball. By hanging his foot outside, he could be making the turn (what I believe he was actually doing) or being very sneaky to take away position from the defender.

    Although I can see a reason for no PK and a foul on Jozy, I do think Jozy was just setting up to make the turn and should have been awarded the PK.
