Revolution furious after The Geiger Show rolls into town once again

The referee once again found himself in the middle of controversy as New England was knocked out of the MLS postseason, writes Seth Vertelney.

WASHINGTON — Three years ago after his team was denied a victory by some questionable refereeing, D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen coined a phrase that has lived on to this very day.

"It's the Geiger show," Olsen said. "He wants to make the big call to change a game.”

On Wednesday night The Geiger Show made it's triumphant return to RFK Stadium, but this time Olsen's team was on the opposite end of some dubious calls by referee Mark Geiger in its 2-1 knockout round playoff victory over the New England Revolution.
