However, it is not quite that literal of timing. If it was, there would be a LOT more stoppage time in EVERY game. You can't tell me that the ref stops his watch for every single foul, scuffle, card, injury, etc. Yes, that is the way it is set up, but it isn't a perfect one to one comparison. For example, in the first half, Kamara was down for nearly 3 minutes at the beginning of the game. There was just over 4 minutes of stoppage time played so that would mean that during the entire rest of the first half, there was only 1 minute of stoppage. There is no way. There were many other "injuries" that happened in the first few minutes of the game and then there were the 2 more yellows dished out. That would all add up to more than 4 minutes and 20 seconds of stoppage time that was played.<br /><br />There is not doubt that Wingert should have received a red card in the first minute. There is no doubt that the ref was horrible. That is the point that RSL and Jason Kreis are trying to make. No one from RSL is arguing the additional suspension for Wingert and therefor they feel that the red is probably what he should have received. It is the inconsistency that is SO frustrating and the fact the there definitely should have been a much more experienced ref at that game with so much on the line and with a huge crowd in attendance.Cody and Denise Valdezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079043703800297011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047658040359226303.post-38794738753333664822013-07-24T14:19:14.823-04:002013-07-24T14:19:14.823-04:00Thanks for doing this.Thanks for doing this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047658040359226303.post-26354322100648125142013-07-23T16:45:20.776-04:002013-07-23T16:45:20.776-04:00Impressive, glad someone did this.
