Will use replacement officials.

quote:

"??We have high confidence in the qualifications of our replacement officials and can ensure our fans, clubs and players that all games will be officiated at a professional standard that protects the integrity of our matches and the safety of our players,"? said Walton.


Oh boy....

That was my thinking. Would anybody *really* notice if Baldemero Toledo or Terry Vaughn skipped a match?

I would gladly cancel the high school game I'm reffing on Saturday to do an MLS match.

That's what happened in Scotland. The refs saw that and came to an agreement quickly before they got permanently replaced.

I saw the list and some of the replacements have reffed champions league, world cup, etc. At the very least it looked like they had all reffed MLS level before, so not as big a deal as I thought it would be.
