((HT: Sportsnet/MLS))
If you ask Toronto FC about Saturday night's contest against Sporting KC, they'll come at you from a few different angles.
Head coach Ryan Nelsen will tell you about missed opportunities and a defense that wasn't helping matters, but the players will jump at head referee Ted Unkel and his spotty and inconsistent job performance.
He got some calls right, but others he got wrong and issued 8 cautions when, at times, it wasn't warranted.
“The referee was having trouble giving me calls and maybe it’s because they want me to learn how to play in MLS, and how the style of the league is here. However, I want them to know that I’m not going to roll over. … I’m not somebody who’s going to be a pushover. I want to be treated fairly like every other player,” the Reds' Gilberto told Sportsnet's John Molinaro after the match.
Here's the highlights where you won't see any of Unkel's goofs...
And TFC captain Michael Bradley was less than diplomatic after the match- much like Gilberto, but unlike his coach- demanding that the officiating fix itself post haste...
Here's Bradley's postgame that will, probably, get him a fine...
