I am sure we'll hear from him once the league office gives a statement about the incident. Especially if something goes against TFC.
Call me crazy but I think MLSE top to bottom is behind this team & will defend it regardless of the outcome.
Death, taxes and fans of every single sports team believing the league and refs/umpires are out to get their specific team.
100% this.
There isn't a sports team on planet earth that doesn't believe the institution is against them. Real Madrid fans are convinced there's conspiracies against them - you know, the most successful club in the sports history. The one the king of Spain is a fan of.
Fans, and I include myself in that, are completely incapable of assessing something like that objectively. We dismiss everything that happens in our favour, and have a visceral reaction to every injustice. Throw into that mix how bad the average MLS referee is and it's a recipe for playing into that kind of thing.
NYFC defender who head butted SeanJo was suspended today, along with Owusu.
How many games? Just this match?
Yeah, the story said "a suspension" which I'd take to mean one game for both guys.
According to some NYCFC/Supporter sites, one match; tomorrow’s.
Sean Johnson didn't get anything?

The book being thrown at TFC by MLS FO
Richie Laryea 3 games?!!
Wtf? Maybe cause he was not on the roster but jumped on the field?
They should appeal that for sure.
Other then that its basically just tomorrows game and Owusu missing Saturday as well.
Brutal. Why do I get the feeling this is going to spiral us for the next little while?

And Herdman tomorrow too.
Herdman will be for the chest bump, not the comments. They have no real choice when it's that blatant.
I wonder what Richie did. Must be bad, possibly hitting the big defender after the headbutt.
Didn't someone wrestle Prince to the ground or am I getting that backwards? Should be at least one more NYFC suspension.
As for a spiral, I wouldn't expect that, not with the chip they're developing. If anything this will galvanize them.
I hope that is the case but alas I am still suffering PTSD from the past few seasons.
So, given Richie’s suspension would occur once he’s fit to play, it should keep him out at least into July, or even, close to the end of August, possibly 3 matches after his return from the Copa America.
As for Nashville, that’s Bernadeschi, Long, Longstaff, Owusu, Johnson, Herdman out.

Ritchie was thumping someone good at some point.
Shocking. Lol.
hmmm, that list seems pretty one-sided. The guys ritchie had been fighting with had been giving it a go previous. His 3 games seem to be because he is better able to look after himself!
Yeh, not expecting an emotional spiral - based on Saturdays post game presser, the team are taking steps to isolate the emotions of Saturday from the job of the rest of the season.
If we lose Wednesday & Saturday, Bogert et al are going to blame the Saturday events & blame Herdman.
That is nonsense but, hey.... gotta do the narrative.
He won't miss any games once he's back from injury. Just leave him off the injury report earlier so he serves the time.
FWIW
Herdman yesterday

The league will never back a Canadian club.
We're just guests in their national development league.
What does winning some American trophy do for TFC?
Leagues Cup and CCL is all that matters.
As I get older the more I want the CPL to step up, and get TFC, VAN, MTL out of MLS.

Might consider using this to create a version of the bus driver from the Simpson's meme....the "Don't make me read the sign" one

No mention in the disciplinary report about Johnson - yet
He might have received a multi game and this is being appealed - no mention of Richie too.

Is Ritchie listed on an injury list somewhere, does that effect when he would serve his 3 games? In the NFL for instances you can only serve suspension if you are available to play, thus if you are on injured the suspension is pushed back until you are able to return.

No. They could activate him 3 matches before his projected return date so he won't miss any matches but he will miss 3 matches of pay and there's no way around that unless he wins an appeal.
I think it’s one of those things where they know TFC will likely activate him early to get around the suspension, so therefore they made the suspension longer.
Honestly, the practicality of this is probably nil. How’s the league going to verify when he’s truly match fit? Feels like a loop hole you could drive a truck through.
