So what's the deal with the officiating so far this year?

A 3rd yellow card against L.A. Hmm...I'm beginning to wonder if maybe there's some truth to my comment made in jest.

I'm sure there's a conspiracy theory there, somewhere. But for now, while I think last nights officiating was pretty bad, it seemed at least fair. I mean that the mistakes went both ways and there was no apparent partiality.

I think the team was a bit more physical last night, in an effort to shut down the Donovan. And I think it worked. But that might also account for some of the calls. From my viewpoint, Kreis' fall looked legitimate, but the ref was a LOT closer and wasn't beating on a drum at the time, so maybe he saw something I didn't. 😉

Let me just say, that game was amazing last night. On that same note i do have to say that the ref did a very good job. he wasnt falling for the fake flops that so many players were trying and he was letting the game flow as much as possible. i thought it was by far the best officiating i have seen out of all of the games that i have watched this season.
