Didn&#39;t think so.<br /><br />The ref is the ultimate authority on the field. Period. If Brian Ching was stupid enough to say that (and i don&#39;t twitter, nor care for Houston so i haven&#39;t seen it) then he is lucky it&#39;s only $500 bucks and not either more, a ban or the ref suing for libel.<br /><br />Don&#39;t do the crime if you can&#39;t do the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865629376568500331.post-61099177838189725572009-07-16T17:22:34.547-05:002009-07-16T17:22:34.547-05:00While I like Brian Ching a lot, I guess I&#39;m not understanding how he should be exempt from criticizing a ref when the whole world also fines managers and players for publicly criticizing. Why do we judge Brian differently? <br /><br />If your upset with the idea that a player can&#39;t criticize an official publicly than that is a whole other matter that would have to be taken up with the league whether he plays in the J-League, A-League, MLS or EPL. And yes, Twitter statements can and have been heard in lawsuits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865629376568500331.post-56276637068848924442009-07-16T16:57:15.583-05:002009-07-16T16:57:15.583-05:00I am in for this.
