"I'm having a go at the referee [Tim Weyland] today because his performance was a disgrace. Now, you tell me how a guy who's running flat out can change direction having to have his arms down by his side. It's impossible. I'm sure the referee couldn't change direction with his hands in his pockets."

-- Comments by Toronto FC coach John Carver, published in the Toronto Star, that earned him a $750 for public criticism of MLS officiating. Ref Weyland gave Dallas a penalty kick after the ball bounced onto Marvell Wynne's outstretched arm. The converted PK was FC Dallas' gamewinner in its 3-2 victory (VIDEO of handball, at 4:28)
