Does MLS have a conspiracy against us?

I can't believe the way the officials come up with new ways every week to just completely screw us.

The PK was questionable. How can he not even things up with a PK on Kammler?

So do the officials do this to us on purpose, or are they just this bad?

I want to steer clear of the conspiracy theory claim because we will start to sound like Dallas fans if we are not careful!

I just wanted to say that match was extremely painful to watch!

I have not felt this badly following a match since USA was robbed in Japan by Germany in 02.

I think it is because the officiating was so bad that it stung so much. I mean it is only game 6 of a long season. I would not have felt so bad if Chivas would have beaten us with a proper goal but that PK was not warranted.

On the other hand... if we would have been able to actually capitalize on all the opportunities that Chivas gave us, then that PK would have been inconsequential.

So right now I don't know whether to be sad or mad!

I guess I should change the question to: Why is MLS officiating so bad?

Dipsy at least should have buried his shot.

I agree! I can handle the FC Dallas and LA Galaxy losses a lot easier than this loss or the tie to the Earthquakes. It seems these were taken away from us by forces we couldn't control - and that's what's frustrating! It's doubly so when we need wins just as much as Chivas does in this all-important inaugural season, and in the beginning of it, no less.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Yes and yes.

That was the most painful game I've ever seen. Next week's game should be good...

Is MLS even smart enough to pull off a conspiracy against RSL?

We've definitely been hard done by refs, but in their defense I'd have to say the PK call during the Quakes game was not easy to make and the ref (the newbie) got it right. He was screened by a couple of players but did not hesitate to point to the spot.

One good call may not counteract the bad ones, but it's worth remembering.

🙁 No, there's no conspiracy of refs...

It's the whole @#^$@# MLS that's against us! 😲

I think all of the other teams are jealous of us. :D
