TORONTO - The MLS Disciplinary Committee’s decision to ban Toronto FC defender Carlos Salcedo one game for a tackle that only earned a yellow card from the referee is “harsh,” according to Toronto coach Bob Bradley.
“I don’t even think the AR (assistant referee) called the foul,” Bradley said after training Thursday. “It’s early in the year (and) there’s a tendency sometimes early in the year to be on top of these things more. If that’s the way it’s going to be done, then I hope there’s consistency throughout the year.”
Wednesday’s announcement of a suspension, arising from Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the visiting New York Red Bulls, deprives Bradley of his star defender at Columbus on Saturday.
