Ioannis can eat a scabby dick. Too whistle-happy. On the plus side I got to call him a loving scab to his face. And almost was the first person ejected.

Jairo Arrieta scored a goal, and wasn't offside. What in the actual gently caress is happening?

It's been too long since I've seen Regular Refs. I can't remember if the new guys were any worse. I guess Dallas's PK was pretty soft. Also, RSL's color commentator on their local channel is a weedy-voiced homer who makes me ashamed to be a person who watches soccer.

Losing to a blown offside call while simultaneously missing about 12 sure goals really loving sucks. And of course Keane misses the PK. Becuase God won't let me have good things.

There were a couple of calls that I disagreed with (Fernandez handball after getting pushed from behind and the ball making contact with his hand as he was falling), and a couple of calls that everybody else disagreed with but were the correct call (Valeri handball in the box). So all in all, a normal MLS match.

DC doesn't have announcers, we can't afford them. We just listen to other team's goobers the whole time.

The replacement refs being "whistle-happy" is what this league needs. MLS players have constantly gotten away with way too much poo poo that'd be a foul anywhere else. And yes I know the irony of this being a huge Osvaldo Alonso fan.

Man, I loved Ben Olsen as a player but I'm not sure I can do another season with his tactics. There was a lot of improvement on the field last night in terms of just quality of player (not that the bar was very high, at all....), but the tactics are just not..good. Impossibly frustrating to watch and as soon as we conceded I knew it was pretty much over. At least I got to hang out with some goons. Oh, and the city jacked up parking by another $5, making it $20 to park now. If my son had come to the game with us, it would have been $100 for 3 tickets and parking, not even thinking of food we bought to grill or concessions inside the stadium. DC United prices are awful. They don't control the parking, I know, but whatever. NattyBo fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Mar 9, 2014 |

Was Taters posted:So which of the replacement refs did an OK job today? I thought Kelly was pretty good, if a little whistlehappy. Okulaja was a bit card-happy, I think, but really his worst call was reversed by an AR anyway and it wasn't NEARLY as badly-reffed a game as I was expecting.

At one point late in the game he also totally ate poo poo when he slipped and fell down. It almost looked like he was attempting a slide tackle on a player with the ball.

So I have MLS Live and there's a DirectKick preview anyway and it didn't matter, but no local station carried DC's match last night, and despite the home game the feed was from Columbus. Does this mean DCU hosed up the TV deal, again?

Stealing that point was amazing, but either team should and could have put that game to bed much earlier on. Philly should have capitalized on Paparatto's many mistakes and Portland should have converted one of their many multi-pass attempts in Philly's box (and Kah should have headed that in!). I blame the rain.

I was able to stream the game on MLS live no problem, but if you use something like Hola! for local TV, it will also be effective. Our TV deal is most definitely hosed, and that is primarily the reason we threw a hail Mary for the radio deal.

Like I said, it worked fine for me, and if they ever get a TV deal finalized I have cable anyway. I am only interested as a marker of how hosed up we are as an organization.

My friend saw Kevin Payne in line at the will call box at RFK. He (KP) asked a DCU employee if it was the VIP line or not. The employee did not know, so KP got back in the regular line. And then got to the ticket box and said his name loudly, like, "I'm picking up my tickets for KEVIN PAYNE". All very
