Whitecaps hope common sense overturns red card given team captain
VANCOUVER — Head coach Carl Robinson is hoping “common sense comes out” now that the Vancouver Whitecaps are appealing a red card given to defender Kendall Waston over the weekend.
Robinson said he spoke about the incident to Howard Webb, general manager of the Professional Referee Organization, which manages on-field officials for Major League Soccer.
“My blood was boiling,” Robinson said Tuesday after a Whitecaps training session. “I have calmed down a little bit now.
“I had a very positive conversation with Howard Webb. I told him what I thought about it. He gave me his thoughts, which was a very positive conversation.”
