The drag is, this has happened several times throughout this season where we're just robbed by a really terrible call (or multiple calls). Once or twice you can shrug it off and be mad about luck, but this keeps on happening. It's infuriating because you're just helpless to idiots.

I am starting to think that the league is against the team. This was a blatantly bad call. The center ref could have made the correct call. It is in his line of sight as well.

The league has nothing to do with refereeing.

Sure, but it was hideous and needs to be dealt with from a league level.

Lolz. I might have to follow that for your comedy.

I can't take credit for it; I saw it on Facebook. I'm guessing it's a capture from the game video.

Don't get me wrong. It is unauthorized because I did not create the account. However, I do think it is funny. In fact, right now I am thinking of senseless statements and hash tags that will bring a smile to someone's face....and maybe even re-tweet a bunch of stuff nobody but me cares about.

What is depressing me more than bad calls in the second half is another first half where we dominated until the last 20 yards of the pitch.

We could all play at coming up with a dream team, but something has to change in the way the team is put together. Different personnel? Different formation? I have no idea , but we've seen this same thing for a long time: slowly getting the ball up to the box, then fall apart, then get hit on a fast counter.

We've got to win these games before bad calls or lucky breaks make us lose them.

What Ayeready said.

That said... we DID score two goals.

Ironic that all of this happened on Minnesota Referee Hall of Fame induction night?
