New York Hudson Derby
So, I watched the 2nd half of this match during the night and to be honest it was a good gsme, but one major talking point....
And questions will surely be asked and confirmation requested etc....
New York Red Bulls (NYRB) V New York City (NYC)...
Whilst at 1-1, NYRB were on the attack and the ball is cleared in the corner. Assistant, who was in that corner, signals for a corner. NYRB player jogs off to get the ball and quickly throws it back on to a team who crosses it in for their striker to head home. Goal?!
It's given.
Cue scenes of massive arguments between players and officials. NYC incensed that the restart was wrong, should have been a corner and not a throw in. Eventually referee speaks to assistant and decides to give a goal.
It is claimed that the referee shouted for a throw in.
If he did, the only person to hear it, in a vocal stadium for a derby, was the thrower who was furthest away.
Considering the only visual signal given was the assistant STILL flagging for a corner, you'd think the referee might think blow whistle, let people know it's a throw in and stay safe. Nope. He doesn't even signal himself. Apparently just verbals. So unless they come out (the MLS) with the voice recordings of the officials, it is solely his word against the rest of the players that it was a throw in.
Totally bizarre..
How could you get to this point, a goal, and not realise that no one knew what was happening.
