Colliedor Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Nice. Been watching this guy for years in the academy and always thought he had great potential. Shocked to see them play him in a different position during preseason though. But if it works out, great! Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then with TFC2 he was playing as a RW most of the time. But yea with TFC they were for sure trying out the CM/AM role.

Shway Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I knew this was coming because he was still in camp. The other draft picks from what I've seen are not in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) This is why you don’t start a 10 at right back, more so when you have the best RB in USL L1 on the bench.. saved by Var Edited April 2, 2022 by Dominic94 baulderdash77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Lucky decision. That is a PK in my mind. He clearly clips him there. Fairly good contact made as well. Edited April 2, 2022 by Corazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Having a good second half so far. Especially coming forward. Should revive the other thread but macnaughton has been fantastic too. Just love how vocal he is shouting directions to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 PFFFTTTT!!! Caldwell is an ass. If that was any other situation he would be taking the defenders side and giving them the benefit of the doubt.

If that was any other situation he would be taking the defenders side and giving them the benefit of the doubt. I was wondering why they weren't showing any decent angle of the alleged indiscretion when he was going on his tyraid about how TFC "got lucky" on that one. I have a feeling you're right though, maybe it's just a situation where he didn't want to look like a total homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 There was clear contact - it’s not even debatable. Utterly bizzare how this was overturned but PRO has come out an apologized for the error and blamed incorrect replay angles. that being said, the foul was more unlucky than egregious or reckless so either way it’s not a big huge indictment of Thompson. i thought the rest of his game was fine for a debut. Was very safe and responsible overall. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I did not see one replay that showed any contact, Caldwell was adamant about it being a pk, what did he and apparently some others see that myself and VAR didn't? Stryker911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag futbol Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Hard working performance. Honestly, it feels like which prospects sink or swim lately comes down to who is motivated for the occasion. Hope he keeps that effort level up. If he does, good things are coming his way. gator and Bikerack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw all the posts about this incident on here before watching the highlights clip and found it hard to understand what all the fuss could have been about. An example of people obsessing too much over less than stellar replay angles rather than sticking with what had appeared blindingly obvious the first time around in real time. Having said that it was good to see TFC win and there have been times when these sorts of decisions have went against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was contact - unfortunately for NYCFC, it was the contact their own donkey of a player made on his own legs which caused him to fall in the box, which is why it's never a PK in a million years. It's so incredibly obvious that he tripped himself on the bumpy ground of a still patchy BMO Field turf (the same turf which nearly got Petrasso a goal when his shot nearly bounced awkwardly over Sean Johnson's shoulder). Refs don't overturn their own PK decisions & wipe out yellow cards, making themselves look incompetent for the original decision just for the fun it. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tripped over his own leg as his left foot clipped his right calf. The below image is from the moment of contact. Thompson is barely in the screen from this angle. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Floortom said: PRO has come out an apologized for the error and blamed incorrect replay angles. The statement in question. The Professional Referee Organization (PRO) acknowledges that a significant officiating error occurred in an important match situation in the eighth minute of the game between Toronto FC and New York City FC. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) incorrectly determined the awarding of a penalty kick to be a clear and obvious error, as the selection of camera angles examined did not reveal foul contact from Toronto FC’s Kosi Thompson on New York City FC striker Talles Magno. While an available camera angle did reveal foul contact, that alternative camera angle was not examined by the VAR, nor was it made available to the referee on the pitch-side monitor. The referee changed his decision and rescinded the penalty kick. PRO can confirm that the awarding of a penalty kick was not a clear and obvious error, and the referee’s initial decision should have been allowed to stand.
