They ignore many fouls against Maxi too. Which is kinda funny since he's Argentinian and from CONMEBOL.
Whatever it is labeled, there is a blatant bias against NYCFC with the non-PK calls.

I agree it was completely an ego thing. Chapman pauses and doesn't go for the second yellow until Yangel continues to yell at him. The pause was so noticeable that when I rewatched it after getting home Ian Joy mentions that it looked like the card may have been for dissent rather than the foul. Completely inexcusable way for a professional ref to behave but I think Chapman was miffed that such a young player would talk back at him and pulled a complete spite move. All that said Yangel needs to be smarter.
Agree about not talking back, but it really seemed like Chapman was riding Hererra really hard leading up to it with the blown No-PK and the dubious Yellow.... it was tough as a spectator to watch and I'm sure it was harder for a kid that felt like he was being targeted. Don't condone talking back, but it's human nature for the frustration to boil over.
That said, MLS/PRO has got a serious problem on their hands with the utter lack of quality in the ref ranks. They can push the "support the party line/officials" all they want, but sports is a big business with results keyed by singular, powerful calls/non-calls, and there's going to be a breaking point when repeatedly slighted teams decide to band against PRO and cancel the affiliation and/or lodge protests against certain refs prior to the match being played. I never like it when Mourinho goes in front of the cameras before a match to say he knows the team won't get calls by XYZ ref, but it does seem to lead to equal parceling of fouls. In light of the last two matches, I'd have no problem if Vieira started doing this.
You wouldn't have happened to be at the Marriott Spring Hill suites would you?
Ahh okay, I was at a wedding in bating hollow, but there was an 80 year lady's old birthday party staying at the same hotel as us. And I concur the LIE was fucking brutal.
Not Chicago-related except for the similar situation RSL suffered at the hands of the Pro Refs. Petke absolutely tears into them in the post-game presser complete with color printouts. This is what Vieira, and every coach, should do after poorly officiated games. Highlight the poor plays and get on record doing it.
"A headlock. A freakin' headlock!"
I love Petke.

I just lost it sitting on the couch. My wife looks concerned.
That entire thing was fucking bullshit. He was fined for embellishment on a dead ball incident, nothing to do with the run of play. And if the referees read these reports and then instill a preconceived notion about a player then there is something wrong with the referees and how they are managed.
Righteously indignant Gator is my favorite Gator.
One other thing from the game...it was awesome how the fans got into it as it got to the end of the game, even people in my 200 section were clapping and cheering. People *knew* the importance of the game and how NYCFC got screwed, and how important it was to secure the result. Great to see.
Nothing is as bad as the swindle in the swamp. The USA Today even called it that. When a national news paper talks about officiating in a college football game, you know the fix was in.
So, did PV hit back at the refs after the game yesterday? Given some of the outbursts by MLS coaches regarding the officiating (Petke being Petke and Vanney getting close to whiny Marsch/Kreis territory), curious to see how PV acted in the presser yesterday.
He had every right to give a Petke-level rant but curious to see how PV played it.

It was a heck of a performance , though, I guess Chicago aren't the second coming after all. Everyone feeling a little better? There was a lot of doom or gloom around here after the Toronto draw. A lot of the sky is falling and we have no chance against the mighty Fire and look no Chanot? Mikey in for Sweat and a red card and we still beat them! Parity league folks. I'd love to shore up the defense a bit but we've got as good a chance as anyone at the cup.
Not related to NYCFC: LOL at everyone shitting on Basti's "heart." Since we are only going based off of one game reviews, may I bring up the 2014 World Cu Final? Please, go on about telling me he has no heart.
Beautiful show of energy and determination from the boys in the game today. Can agree that the supporters section wasn't as crazy and loud today, probably due to the sun and heat. Cooked in those bleachers throughout the game. Villa goal was beautiful, and enjoyed Lewis' speed on the wing. Helped stretch out Chicago's defense even though we were down a man. Brillant stepped up, hope he can continue to do so in what looks like 3-5 games without Chanot.
What a day/game.
