@MikeConti929 IFAB needs to amend the VAR protocol from “not recommending” slow motion, to a clear prohibition on slow motion/still images for serious foul play/violent conduct, at least for the pitch side review. If they can’t see it at full speed it is not clear and obvious.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@PROreferees @ColoradoRapids @ATLUTD Sorry you have a referee make several major game changing mistakes and you continue to assign them the following week??? PRO should be abolished and officials directly assigned by US soccer/Soccer Canada subject to their ethics requirements.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@ussoccer should suspend or revoke Tim Ford’s referee certification for violation of policy 531–11.4 for failure to maintain impartiality & repeated poor judgment with significant match impact. US Soccer is the governing body not @PROreferees or @MLS

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@PROreferees @SJEarthquakes @WhitecapsFC @PROreferees is the Tim Ford issue going to be addressed on inside video review this week or is it going to be another blatantly obvious referee error that is going to be buried on your website?

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@KroppdusterAE @MikeConti929 Tournament suspension does not hurt him, suspending his player license for 6 matches across the board (disrespect towards the match official after RC) carries more weight as it prevents him from playing league matches or being called up, problem is CONCACAF won’t do it

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@PColErnie @DougRobersonAJC “Personal attack at a match official” is a direct red card… but ya the referee made a caution into a sending off because of his ego

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@MikeConti929 There was a caution for time wasting in stoppage that was not added back as well… add that #28 was on a YC and assisted in delaying the restart after the RC (should have seen 2nd YC)…
This tournament is a joke …

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@Austinooffical Arm extended down to the ground while falling to the ground is not a handball. Check the laws.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@DougRobersonAJC @PROreferees will not admit that this was an inappropriate review, first issue is the attacker initiated contact and then flopped (no PK), second issue is this was not “clear and obvious“ given how long the review took the original call should’ve stood.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@PROreferees should be disgraced of the performance during #MIAvATL… it is blatantly obvious that the referee is allowing one set of standard for Miami and another for Atlanta. It is disgraceful.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@Longshoe look at IFAB, you cannot legally dispossess a goalkeeper in the act of punting, contact is not required to call the foul. Based on IFAB examples that goal should have been disallowed for not providing space to release the ball.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@MikeConti929 In the playoffs, that should immediately result in a suspension as a fine is not enough

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@DougRobersonAJC Messi+Playoff… safe to say there will be a demand

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@MikeConti929 Go back to 2 leg ties for all rounds prior to the final… if they want have a play-in wildcard or give the regular season conference champions a round 1 bye

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@wadebrazoswood @BisonGaming3334 @UnnecRoughness @TreyMurphyMuse NCAA Division I… once an in stadium announcement is made you can’t reverse a call unless by video review

The officials made up a reversal when they should have issued a fan interference warning followed by a 5 yard penalty then 10 then 15 then forfeit

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@Ave_stigall @SenseiParlay You can’t and after making an official announcement, you cannot reverse a call. This will be a big issue if Georgia ends up losing the game.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

The @SEC just lost all credibility, your officials have now made it clear to every student section. If you throw trash on the field, the call will be reversed, and your team will not be punished.

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@LeanMrfuzzles @OrlandoCitySC Does not matter if he scores directly from the play, law 12 specifically says even if it’s accidental any contact with the hand/arm results in a disallowed goal… it is an obscure rule that has screwed over Atlanta several times this year

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@hartjl3 @OrlandoCitySC Law 12 Handling the ball:
scores in the opponents’ goal:
•directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
•immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental

Sorry it is CLEAR the ball hit his arm prior to scoring

[Greg Hanthorn @GHanthornJR]

@Adzter961 @OrlandoCitySC Here you go… ball to arm prior to scoring under Law 12: directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper is a handball
