I said the same thing, and even my buddy who is far more lenient with ever wanting to give a yellow was surprised the antics weren't rewarded with a trip to the showers. His response to his card was laughable and cringeworthy. Shit, their entire lineup was a bunch of thespians playing their trade.
i hate this argument.. make the right play, then its on mikey to either make the play or be shit, rather than just giving up the ball and not getting an opportunity at all
Villa holds the ball a ton and regularly doesn't pass. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
and villa is way to selfish sometimes too and i yell at my TV at him many times.
It was worse than the clip shows, before he went over to Maxi he went up to Geiger put his hands on both shoulders and screamed at him. I was certain he was gone at that point for touching the ref, the clips starts at that point when he turns away from Geiger walks over to Maxi and starts screaming directly in his face, followed by him screaming at Geiger again. Touching the ref the way he did and then screaming at Maxi each should have warranted a second yellow on their own, shocked the combination of both resulted in nothing.
Speaking of yellow cards, how much time elapsed from when the play stopped to when Geiger gave Yangel his card? Must have been about two minutes, right? There is no VAR on yellow cards so how can that happen?
Also, somebody tell me what happened on NER's goal. NER essentially got a redo on the set piece from what looked like their player running through the wall. And of course, the original shot went 10 yards over goal...the replay was by a different player (Rowe) and, of course, led to the goal (cleared, put back in and Bunbury scores the rebound).

I took Angoua being the first NE player to get subbed at 61' to be a full on acknowledgement from Heaps that he knew they got lucky and needed to get him off before he Angoua gave the ref another chance to issue a yellow.
I forgot about this moment last night: After the NER goal, Bunbury (right?) came over to celebrate right in front of Section 012-ish fans, prompting a ton of middle fingers, and eventually the launching of something that looked like a meatball sub from 112 that slammed right into another NYCFC fan. The guy was kicked out, and I booed him, but the guy that got food on him was in as much disbelief as I've seen someone at a sporting event.
It's not really a conspiracy any more <eerie music> but the Pro refs have it in for NYCFC. there have been way too many missed PKs and crazy yellows this year for it to be one big coincidence. The amount of protection Villa and Maxi are given is minuscule compared to every time Giovinco is blown on or Altidore is touched. Last night Villa went down after being hacked by three guys in the box, ok one hacked him after he dribbled past the first two, and no call. Guarantee that Gio gets the whistle blown before even being touched.
replays at one point clearly showed maxi getting pulled down inside the box. Where was the VAR for that? i just dont get it
Only in Section 112 after an opposing goal.
It's annoying but at this point the only option seems to be to adapt to it. Villa realized a long time ago he wasn't getting the calls he expected and stays on his feet considerably more than he did year 1. Maxi and Ring also seem to have found the line. Herrera seems to be the one that still could benefit considerably from adapting at this point. It's clear the Refs have targeted him as a flopper and have no interest in blowing the whistle. He needs to use his strength to stay on his feet and power through as much as possible. Likely easier said than done after spending his entire soccer playing life up until this point ingraining habits in the South American art of spontaneously crumpling into a heap in response to any contact.
Delta has them, but that's a long toss to Section 012.
Did anyone else notice the YES crew shitting on Maxi for no reason. The dude has been a class act at the club even though many fans hated the signing at first and carried the attack the first half. Seriously fuck Joe Toelleson and Ian Joy.
Wow, wow, wow, wow. Stop right there. Ian Joy was not calling this match. Ian Joy was in California because he's on the Bundesliga schedule now for Fox Sports. Janusz Michallik was the color commentary for this match. Do not curse Ian Joy. He is an amazing person. He is an amazing tv personality. You can fuck off.
