    Default About the Referee for Saturday's Match

    Jorge Gonzalez: 17 games; FC/gm: 28.1; Y/gm: 4.2; R: 5; pens: 6

    I know this is information already posted with the game thread but I wanted to look deeper into these specific stats for referees. I've been keeping track of them for the past few weeks or so. Here is what I see, compared to other MLS officials:

    Fouls per game: low
    Yellows per game: a bit on the high side
    Reds: ever so slightly higher than average
    Penalties: pretty average

    So what does this tell us? He's pretty ordinary but challenges would seem to warrant a caution for less severe infractions as he whips out the yellow faster than others. This may be of a concern for the team who plays physically, and especially for players like Danny Dichio or Tyrone Marshall. Will fans at RFK help "sell" the call to the referee or will he be wary of a strong biased crowd and be more in TFC's favour? The latter instance happened quite a bit at BMO last year.
