CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena told LAGalaxy.com on Thursday that he disagreed with remarks made by MLS VP of Competition, Jeff Agoos, regarding the officiating during the Galaxy’s 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls last weekend.
“It's been four days since the game, and the league was unable to accurately review the play,” stated Arena. “The play in question comes off a player (Veron) being in an offside position on a flick pass from Grella. Therefore, a review of a penalty is null and void. In advancing the concept of video reviews, I simply ask- will we have people with the experience and knowledge of the game to make accurate decisions in a one minute timeline?
