PORTLAND, Ore. -- Should holding a player’s jersey while he throws himself to ground be considered a foul? If your answer is yes, that having a handful of jersey is an obligatory call, then you probably agree with what Wednesday’s officials saw as a late infraction on Portland Timbers’ defender Larrys Mabiala – a call that led to New England Revolution midfielder Carles Gil’s late, penalty-kick equalizer. But you also likely wanted the Timbers to get a whistle earlier in the half, when Jeremy Ebobisse was being pulled from behind at the edge of the Revs’ six-yard box by fullback Brandon Bye, yet the officials let the play go.
