jpg75 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 As reported by BrennanFan and Vince, Andy Najar has not played for Honduras since the GC and missed the recent friendlies for them due to "personal reasons" http://www.diez.hn/laseleccion/890250-99/pinto-condiciona-llamado-de-najar-estoy-esperando-que-me-responda Roger Espinoza has been missing due to a broken bone in his foot since Aug. 6th. His recovery was estimated to be 10 weeks which took him through last week. He has yet to play, but is currently in full training with SKC. He likely won't play this Sunday and may not return before the international window. http://sportspyder.com/players/16304-roger-espinoza/news Victor Bernardez suffered a pulled hamstring on Sept. 5th and missed 3 games before returning in early Oct. He missed last weeks match due to yellow card accumulation. Still someone to keep an eye on in case he aggravates the injury as he would be a key loss at CB.

toontownman Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Ha try Teletex/Ceefax updates or the radio in the UK. We are spoilt, especially in North America, we get access to more football than the UK even now. Geez I am not even THAT old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Our ref for this game will be the Costa Rican Henry Bejarano. He is relatively new but he was the one who was ref when the Impact lost the CCL final to América at the Stade Olympique. I did not see that game; what did you guys think of him? http://www.diez.hn/laseleccion/893075-99/árbitro-del-honduras-canadá-jorge-luis-pinto-es-un-poquito-enojón Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can this be? This is an absolutely outrageous comment for a referee to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomurphy1 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 If the translation is accurate, I'm of the mindset that the CSA should file a protest or whatever means they have to remove the referee from the qualifier. I've never seen or heard anything like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Ref also said he won't give or take anything away from either team. Still, inappropriate comments. He was the 4th official in that Whitecaps Olimpia game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 what the fuck? this is so bush league. CSA should lodge a formal complaint asap. how can Concacaf allow refs to act like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 We need to get the ball rolling on an official complaint here. This is outrageous... for a ref to grant an interview and admit bias is completely unprofessional. Whether he is removed or not is besides the point. If we can make his comments widespread he will under fire to tread lightly in this match and we may even get some calls in our favour just so he doesn't show any bias. A tactic we see used in the NHL playoffs many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Well he has not helped himself and should be more professional. At the end of the day he will be judged on the pitch and as a professional should be able to go out and do his job. The ref's favorite teams are common knowledge in the EPL but they do their job. The biggest issue is the spotlight he has now put on him and the notion planted in Candians heads that every decision he makes will be biased, regardless of right, wrong or the truth. That can't be undone and will cause potential problems. He should know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
