He wanted to play with 10 men - at some point this season Gregor or Potl or Knowles are going to get a red card or three and they are going to need to know how to play with 10 guys. The Burse play was a hospital ball back pass from Scot that led to a 50-50 collison. Stupid in the 94th minute. Gavin actually elected not to put a replacement player in.

I also thought they should have allowed us to sub in a replacement (as happened in the game vs Whitecaps earlier in preseason). But the ref was an absolute joke and no mistake, he had zero control over the game and it made for some laughable shit.

Too bad about Burse, no official word yet, but I doubt he made the trip back for the Dallas match. He couldn't put weight on his leg when he tried to get off the pitch. I just don't know what took so long for the ref to call the match. Seemed like we played 5 minutes of extra time, then waited another 2-3 minutes during the Burse injury. Poor job officiating.
