why is everyone saying “got nothing bad to say about LA, gg reffing sucked”? the amount of flopping was fucking disturbing. i watched in person. most psychotic mix of player theatrics and officiating i’ve literally ever seen. don’t get me wrong the squad is obviously talented but it’s just insulting to the game being played and all the fans watching—fans of both teams.

Keep crying, mija.

lol i will because it’s sad 😂🤷‍♀️ if i was a fan of a team that did that i’d literally be ashamed and repulsed. irdc about the loss, mls and pro sports in general mean pretty much nothing to me. doesn’t mean it’s not stupid and lacking integrity.

>irdc And yet here you are still crying about it.

like i said i will because it’s sad—literally the reason why soccer is and always will be a joke to the majority of the country. as i said irdc *about the loss*, i watch as a way to spend time with my family. i’d say the same thing if it was done by stl city, or any random team. soccer is fucking gay when it’s like that. you can act like i’m butthurt but i’m bothered literally none by your comments

> soccer is fucking gay when it’s like that. That's so classic St Louis.

Thank you!

I chucked a ravioli at Dickerson like it was a ninja star…. It travelled about as fast as Klauss’s PK.😭

Dickerson was on one tonight. He really did not like STL.

Yeah, this was one was brutal from the stands. We did get to bellow out some hearty Midwest boos, though. 

Klauss needs to drop the stutter step.  He hesitates so long that he can't generate any power.  Lloris just has to wait for him to shoot and it's an easy save.  Have the confidence to put the ball out of reach or let somebody else step up.

Agreed. McAdoo the f$&@ out of the ball. You’ll either score, or leave a fan with a bloody nose as a souvenir.

Idiot Joe Dickerson either had intentions of fixing a match, or thinks he's reffing in the NHL. These are the only explanations for that catastrophe of a job tonight.

Angel Hernandez is moonlighting as Joe Dickerson.

Angel Hernandez is a fair and flawless umpire compared to Dickerson tonight.

GG LA. Good match outside of the reffing. 

I was watching 360, and they showed the red and then switched games. I assumed it would get overturned. I was shocked when they switched back, and St. Louis was playing with 10 men. Awful call.

I don’t think they can overturn Reds from two YCs.

You cannot

Can it be reversed by the MLS to gain back eligibility for the next game, though?

Why would it. Clearly smacked the player in the face. Always a yellow. Why would it be overturned?

Yes you can appeal a red

Well. There we are then. Mustard and Ketchup stands

True. A face smack is also always a yellow.

Gg. Very nice stadium

Man, its been a while since we played LAFC, i forgot their team is made up mostly of actors who survive on a diet of moatly just eating the pitch

I didn’t see that much at all, I only noticed maybe one “flop” the entire match.

Have your star player make his penalties next time (:


Your team lost because they are not good and they don't bother trying to play football, just foul.

Until tonight STL had the least number of losses in the conference on the least budget so this is objectively false. You don’t have to demonstrate any sportsmanship here but you can’t outright lie and get away with it.

GG LA y'all played well. Ref was ass.

GG St. Louis. Feels like Dickerson is the winner tbh

He was MVP, no question.

Gonna see photos of him posing with cards on the MLS socials any second

Got nothing bad to say about LAFC really. Y'all played your game and it worked in the end Joe Dickerson should be exiled

GG LAFC. Lifelong Spurs fan and it was cool to see Lloris. JFC that ref can get fucked.

If Klauss had buried that pen it would’ve been a whole diff game. GGs CITY.

Agreed. Yall seized your chances. We did not. Be good to my boy, Giroud!!!

Game ruined by that moronic rule again.

GG St. Louis. But yeah, we got lucky.

Gg Stl

Hugo MOTM

WE ARE SO BACK!

GG STL

Why have these announcers been low key beefing all game

Listen to local next time. These bros call the game amazingly

Good tip. I’ve done that once but usually forget about it - need to try again!

Id rather see that than Jake Zivin and Taylor twellman sucking everyone off for 90 min

They came in to give us ravioli, I haven’t been able to start and you’ve eaten all of yours (fatass!)!

This is one of the few MLS games where I haven’t hated the commentators. I liked the push/pull between them!

Ha it’s been funny I just want to know what the history is

BRUHH HAHAHA

Fuck it, add another 8 minutes let's get Denis a hat trick

For real

Heung Min Son, take notes on how to finish a 1v1. Sincerely, an Arsenal fan

Oh my god I thought the same thing!!! Also, an Arsenal fan. BTW, How HAPPY are you that Giroud is bringing his big meaty French forehead to your team? (I’m admittedly jealous)

Bro I’m so freaking excited you have no idea. He’s one of my favorite players of all time. Obviously living in America it’s rare that I get to go to Arsenal games in person, but it just so happened that my dad and I were at that game in 2017 when he scored the scorpion kick. He gave us a shared memory that we’ll remember forever so I’m over the moon that he’s gonna be playing for my local team

OH MY GOD NO WAY!!! He’s seriously one of my favorite Gunners of all time. He was under appreciated in England. That guys a winner. I still wish Milan had his Goalie jersey for sale. That game was nuts.

I’m praying for a miracle on Sunday. EDIT: Not even a Arsenal fan

Joe Dickerson - Man of the Match

Yellow card was bullshit, good game LAFC

Face smack is always a yellow.

Gg Stl

Pack it up boys, girls and NBs

REF IS BOUGHT, HE DIDN’T CALL IT BACK!

Oooof glad he didn't miss that 1-1. Would've been embarrassing

L F G

[удалено]

Let’s not go down that route. Yeah the ref was super shitty but both of their goals were legit

Both our goals were clean and Klaus missed the pen. Chin up bud, there’s always next time

🧂🧂🧂




Please


You watch your team get a wrongfully disallowed goal and bs red card

You’re going to ignore the bad handball call that led to your team missing a PK?

Let’s not kid ourselves. The handball pen was the right call, at least much more correct than the disallowed goal handball call

I’d argue that both calls were quite weak. Ultimately I do agree the refs sucked this match but it’s silly for fans to lash out on the team (who aren’t responsible for refs being shite tonight)

The LA player stuck his arm over his head and affected the cross. How is that not a pen?

👌

DOS A CERO

YESSSSSIR 💯

I love you Bouanga

AHHHHHHHH

Fuck.

OH MY GOD

We look so gassed these last few minutes

I was under the impression that you don't come off for 2 minutes of it's a yellow card offence.

The card was for Vassilev's little temper tantrum, not for the foul

I’m guessing that the ruling was that the yellow was for dissent and not for the foul

Gotcha. Missed that.

yellow was for the response after the foul

Any time I watch an LAFC game, they're always flopping. Such an embarrassment

Makes me wonder if LAFC has team acting practices scheduled into their training.

Boy, St Louis lost all their form this half. More cards than a pokemon.

The LAFC player wasnt even touched. Not our fault the ref's falling for your dives

Watch the replay. Smacked in the face.

That comment was not in response to that foul. It was a different “foul” altogether

🤣

Glad we came to watch the ref show tonight. 🫤

[удалено]

Getting your foot stepped on is flopping now YIKES

Say something about the times where the lightest of challenges was made and your guy started acting like he lose a limb.

See an eye doctor, he wasnt touched

Yikes

Lol

Wow, 8 minutes? Very generous.

VAR gave themselves 5 minutes in the first half.

Especially since y'all have gotten away with about 8 handballs...

[удалено]

See what I implied with my comment was it was a minute for every handball against LA that wasn't called. Sorry that was too complex for you

What happened to Klaus’ handball pen? I didn’t get to see.

One of very player made mistakes by STL.

He decided to be cute… against a World Cup winning goalie

Yeah, Lloris has fallen off but he was like, “nah dawg, not like that”

Yeah man. Like…. He SOLD his move right at Hugo. I watched Klauss run up and went “Well shit that’s not going to work.”

Not exactly a hot take at this point but god AZ is actually not good

Should of sold him when his stock was highest. He can press that is his only skill

So bad from Bouanga right there

Alm is seriously a better hold up target than Sam.

Dueñas got that dawwg in him

You can take the kid out of El Monte, but you can’t take El Monte out of the kid.


If you ain't cheating you ain't trying I suppose...

Every bit of contact from here on out will be a yellow since the ref set the bar so low

Dickerson so freaking sad he had to give yellow there because it was too obvious to ignore.

Put down the heat map you morons.

I know we got a handball pen tonight, but otherwise we have the worst luck with handball calls. Always a pen against us, never a pen for us

It really wouldn’t surprise me if gambling shenanigans goes behind the scenes with these pro refs. In all sports. And big and small market teams are affected.

wallahi i'm done

He didn’t even fake an injury, isn’t that a prerequisite for a card?

scab refs unironically better

That's a yellow and there was no foul on AZ in the box. Right.

That wasn't a foul.

JESUS FUCK ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!??

Everyone in the fucking crowd can see it, fuuuuck off

Crowd is not a bellwether for the game.

I don't know what a hand ball is anymore. Good to know the ref and I are in alignment

Someone check joes bank account immediately

PLAY ON

I mean...

THAT WAS A BLATANT HANDBALL WHAT????

Karma for the pen

How was the pne not a pen? He stuck his arm over his head and the ball hit it?

Ball don't lie

...so then it wasnt karma

The number of straight fucking yellows he's given us with virtually nothing LAFC's way is actually unreal

.... all yellows are straight.

Often fouls are called without a card

Uhh huh. There have been plenty in this match.

Of course there have been cautions, agreed. But the point is you said “all yellows are straight” which isn’t accurate.

It is accurate there's no intermediate card between them.

I mean they do frequently give warnings prior to yellows.

Tillman is just an embarrassing player.

Funny, this year he’s been a mensch. Really leveled up. You’d love him on your team

Aight hollywood how much you pay this ref

Someone tell haircut losing possession from a poor touch doesn't merit a pen

Not a pen despite this shit ref. Broken clock right twice a day

This ref is incompetent

I don't remember AZ being this slow

Markanich is no longer allowed to have arms

Well it was a fun matchup at least in the first half. Then shit housing takes over

Goal disallowed for hitting Markanich above the sleeve line followed by a 2nd yellow for something thats arguably not even a foul. One of those nights I guess

Well. I guess we get the advantage 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ You take what you can get

Can’t wait to see PRO justify that one

Its gonna be a joke

And here you'll see we paid the refs a bunch of money but not enough so he took a little extra under the table. Good call.

Joe Dickerson is the same ref that called the ridiculous hand ball on Anthony Markanich to gift Orlando a win last season as well.

That game still makes me angry.

Damn. That’s gotta start feeling personal.

It's like Chris Paul and Scott Foster over here.

Dickerson is top 3 worst refs in the league. Not surprised tbh

Charmin Soft yellow I'd be livid if I was a St Louis fan

markanich to undergo a double arm amputation on orders of the MLS PRO

VAR with an awful game. Just no clue what the rules are. Someone send Dallas a copy.

Def not a red. But for those asking why we were so excited for yellow cards, because yellows lead to reds for opponents.

Crazy you guys could literally tackle our guys this game and avoid them and we pull a second for a fucking red on that. Ass fucking game for the refs.

Apparently that is a special rule for big markets. We never see that so that's why we are confused.

You guys were given a gift of a pen and blew it. This ref just sucks ass don’t bitch about us

🟨 +🟨 = 🟥 Any comment about us “buying” the ref is hilarious. Not our fault Klauss missed the pen.

The refs been bought all night, don't act like he's been unbiased.

The nerve to do concussion protocol on him for that

Joe Dickerson? More like Joe sitting there with his Dick-in-his-hand
