@morrisonicpod Will there now be a distinction between burning a ref card and burning a VAR card?

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@HoodMeadows Looks like an email went out about the cancellation right after I sent the tweet. Thanks for all you guys do to keep the mountain open, even in gnarly conditions.

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@HoodMeadows Sahale pass early lift still happening today? I assumed it was off due to weather, but there hasnt been an email about it.

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@morrisonicpod Question is how much accountability do I have to your inevitable burning a ref card on this one? Poor guy probably was just getting an early hike in our beautiful Gorge pre-game and some jerk runner tries to influence him. I learned about the result as I limped to the keg later.

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@morrisonicpod So, while running an Ultra on Sunday morning, I saw a hiker wearing a PRO jacket hiking up Multnomah Falls. I half jokingly yelled at him as I passed, "All calls go for the Timbers!" Doubt he heard me and not sure if he was center ref, sideline, or VAR. 1/2

@morrisonicpod Starting 11 adult cartoons. And how excited are you for more Futurama episodes?

@morrisonicpod @malcolmjreilly That is a city code, not a statute. Good luck getting something like that through the state legislature. That is clearly directed at your local, neighborhood scalper, not a faceless corporation.

@morrisonicpod How nervous should we be for the first 27 seconds of the game with Clark in goal?

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@morrisonicpod How the hell did Ted Unkel get the center ref assignment for the Eastern Conference Final? And how glad are we that PRO sent Kelly West and Unkel East?

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@jmashek @morrisonicpod Follow up. Who is flying in Jebo? His Twitter picture now has him in a Timbers kit. That dude needs to be in the stadium next weekend.

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@morrisonicpod Is Ochoa secretly a Timber? He cartoonishly trolled Seattle and knocked them out in PKs. 14 goals against in 4 games against the Timbers, with the last one going off the back of his head. I enjoy watching him play against us much more than I enjoyed Rimando.

@morrisonicpod If MLS follows the precedent set by Roldan v Unkel (2019), then Asprilla should be playing on Saturday.

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@morrisonicpod Another bit of research. Roldan had a red rescinded after he got into a pushing match with Kaye in 2019 and Roldan's hands accidentally went to Kaye's. You will never guess the center ref in this incident... https://t.co/nH0ACCJFut

@morrisonicpod *Atuesta's face.

@morrisonicpod 3 thoughts on that "outline". 1) That is not an outline. 2) That sounds like it is looked at in a vacuum with zero context. 3) It sounds like it has all the subjectivity of VAR and depends on the whims of whoever is watching the video.

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@morrisonicpod Also, MLS website claims to "outline" the review procedure. Outline consists of one question, "Did the match officials make a clear and obvious error in respect to the disciplinary sanction in accordance with the Laws of the Game?"

[Matt Ellis @gtmattuo]

@morrisonicpod Sigh. Fine. Pat, Starting 11 of crows. Possible Crows being Cameron Crowe, Counting Crows, Black Crows, The Crow (Film), etc. It is your schtick, so you make the rules.
