Toronto FC and MLS Referees

[Stella]

I've watched most of the Toronto FC games on CBC.

Can someone enlighten me? Why are the MLS refs so biassed against Toronto FC?

A TFC player remotely touches an opposition player and their booked or yellow carded.

The opposing time can give a TFC player a hard time and they get off scott free!

MLS refs suck ass. Not really for prime time, IMO.

That's often a case with new/expansion teams.

On the other hand, we are nice people here in Toronto and refs don't have a fear of being hit with a bear bottle after the game

The most refs can fear in TO is being hurled a load of verbal abuse!

The answer is most likely that the majority of referees are rubbish...

As someone who regularly attends football matches, I've seen some shocking, some disappointing and some downright bizarre decisions over the years – and they always seem to be against us. But these decisions tend to balance themselves out over the course of a season – for every dodgy booking or penalty we suffer, I've seen a suspect free kick or offside awarded in our favour.

However, no matter how charitable you are towards the match officials there can be no excusing Uriah ******.
