Attention:
Player ejections involving Legends player #2 and Slammers player #11.
Legends player #2 was pulling Slammers #11 down to ground. Legends player #2 then on the ground cleated Slammers player #11 on thigh. Slammers player #11 pushed Legends #2 player legs off her thigh. Referee gave a yellow card to Slammers #11 and direct red to Legends #2 player. After discussing with AR he gave Slammers a 2nd yellow which resulted in Red card.
The officiating crew for this game out of San Gabriel Valley Refereee association.
Ref - Tony Virrueta, AR - Anibal Toledo, AR - Ulises Castaneda
These officials should not be allowed to referee games at this level. Referee Tony Virrueta is unfit (overweight) to run for 90 minutes, he rarely left the center of the field durning transistions and was not moving along field in S shape. Ref Tony Virrueta is short tempered could not ask a question and would respond in a condiscending tone and actions were not professional at all. AR Anibal Toledo and Ulises Casteneda both wanted to make an impact to the game. The AR that was closes to team bench was the oldest referee out on field. When situation happen on field incedent it occured on the opposite side of field. After ejection of Legends #2 player he took it upon himself to request a meeting with the Center Referee and got our Slammers #11 ejected with 2nd yellow/red card. I asked AR to explain what he saw and did not respond. The player happened on the fan side of field were the other AR was located, but it was the opposite field AR (oldest of crew) that consulted with Center Ref Tony Virrueta. I ask Ref Tony Virrueta why he did not see it himself he said he was out of position, this is an unexceptable response especially since he is the one who blew the whistle and gave Legends player #2 a straight red for cleating of Slammers player #11. Slammers player #11 pushed the cleats of Legends player #2 off her thigh. AR (old AR) said that Slammers player #11 struck Legends player #2. I'm trying to figure out how AR from the opposite side saw this and Ref Tony Virrueta did not being in front of play himself.
I'm asking that only 1 game suspension be given to both players as this is their last year in Club soccer.
Thank you for your time.
