Tampa Bay finished fifth in the spring season and is currently eighth in the fall season, and the club feels it would be better placed with more competent officiating.
The Tampa Bay Rowdies feel they've endured too many bad calls this season, and they aired their grievances in a seven-minute video released on their official team website on Monday.
The NASL franchise posted a YouTube video filled with what it perceived to be poor officiating that has cost the team points in 2016. Club chairman and CEO Bill Edwards released a statement to accompany the video.
"I have been quiet all season about the poor officiating that has been taking place at Rowdies matches, but after Saturday night’s match against the Cosmos I feel compelled to speak out," Edwards said.
