1- With about 5 minutes to play Wando made a sub. 2- the 4th official Mr Tanverdi ( a ref assessor) said the sub was good 3- fans started yelling that there were 12 players on the field. this went on for abour 2 minutes 4- Wando coach tells 4th official game stops with 2:06
First lets look at Wando. 1- Wando won the game in the first 10 minutes after that they did what they had to do 2- the Wando coach worked the clock by subbing numerous times. This is a strategy applied worldwide 3- The fact that she told the 4th official does not exonerate her, as she is responsible for knowing what players are in and out. After all she called the sub
The officials 1- Mr Tanverdi should give whatever pay he received back. and should be stripped of whatever status he has. This was his job and in this stage it should not be this huge a mistake 2- The crew had no clue how long Wando played with 12 or who was the 12th for that matter. 3- called correctly so, kick , yellow card to the offending player ( I think the picked the captain simply because they did not know who was the culprit). Incorrectly because of HS stupid rules, no time was added on as it would have in any other game when there is time wasting.
So lexington lost the game, The midfield conference took the wind out of the sails they had generated. Would it have made a difference...IMO probably no if it was only a couple of minutes...but noone seems to know how long Wando played with 12
The hardest thing is the players, you cannot convince a player who gave everything that there was some serious issue in the way the game was played
Lex coach - obviously upset should have been more of a leader... (easy to say from the stands)
