Its one of my biggest pet peeves in football and it happens all over the
world and it happens often. Moreover, it makes the game a little less
beautiful. I call it the "deliberate handball swindle."
A player, believing hes been fouled, grabs the ball while falling to the
ground, forcing the referee into making a decision in the players
favour. As a long suffering observer of CONCACAF, Ill cynically assume
that this technique originated in Central America and spread like a
disease to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, FIFA has allowed the
plague to fester...until recently it seems. More and more, we are
seeing officials make the correct decision, by giving a free kick in the
other direction, while brandishing the yellow card that is
automatically awarded for intentionally handling the ball.
Unfortunately for Whitecaps fans, it was a Vancouver player that fell
victim to that modern interpretation and, because Mattias Laba was
already in the book, it was an indisputable sending off in the Whitecaps
2-1 loss to Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
Was Laba pulled back by Nick Labrocca in the 77th minute and might a
foul have been awarded? Yes. But there were a full two steamboats
between Laba tumbling to the ground and the Argentine midfielder
grabbing the ball. Enough time for the referee to blow his whistle,
which he didnt, and enough time for Laba to consider the circumstances -
already on a yellow with his team leading by a goal. Perhaps in his
home country, in front of a huge crowd, a referee might have caved to
the con and we see that all the time. I sympathize with officials who
are constantly being put in a position of having to interpret deceit.
So for the good of the game, Im glad Ionnis Stavridis construed the law
the way he did and I hope his contemporaries in the game consistently
follow suit and react the same way in similar circumstances.
There is part of me, though, that also wonders whether in this instance,
if the referee knew right away that Laba was already on a yellow for a
belligerent foul just 23 minutes earlier ,as there seemed to be
hesitation between him showing the secnd yellow and then the red. If
referees themselves strive for anonymity and the desire to let players
decide games, then, upon reflection, perhaps Mr. Stavridis might have
secretly wished he had just awarded a foul to Nick Labrocca and not
influenced the game to that degree.
But it doesnt change the fundamental issue - grabbing the ball to force a
referee into a ruling falls under the same category as diving or, as
its now known, 搒imulation." Its cheating plain and simple and if the
Whitecaps truly want to live by their slogan 揙ur All, Our Honour�,
maybe they need to learn from this incident and encourage players to
think twice about employing one of the games most notorious swindles.

While plenty of statistics illustrate Torontos turnaround in the second
year of manager Ryan Nelsens tenure, stopping goals is not one of
them.MILWAUKEE - It wasnt the bounce-back performance they expected, but
it was the one they needed.
Coming off a disappointing loss, their first of the young season in
Atlanta 24 hours earlier, the Raptors responded with a gritty victory
and one they can be proud of despite shooting just 40 per cent from the
field.
Rudy Gay, like the rest of his team, was not perfect, but delivered on
his promise to be better after turning in one of his worst outings as a
Raptor on Friday.
"We learned from last night," said Gay, the Raptors leading scorer, who
had a career night rebounding the ball in Torontos 97-90 win over the
Bucks Saturday. "It shows how resilient we are. We just picked it up and
still got the win, even if it wasnt pretty."
In terms of offensive efficiency, it wasnt pretty.
Gay, fresh off a 6-for-23 shooting night, shot just 4-of-14 from the
floor. DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry also struggled, each shooting
5-for-14, while Jonas Valanciunas was 3-of-8 in just 16 minutes.
"I mean, myself, I cant remember the last time I knocked down a shot
personally," Gay joked after the game. "But as far as the team [goes],
we were moving the ball around and we defended our asses off."
"It definitely wasnt our offence," Raptors coach Dwane Casey admitted.
"We had to do it with our defence. We had to dig in."
Hanging their heads following Fridays defeat, Casey reminded his players
they were just two games into a long season. His message to Gay and the
others: if your shots not falling, find another way to help the team
win.
Message received.
Gay grabbed a career-best 15 rebounds and got to the line 10 times,
DeRozan dished out five assists and Lowry contributed six boards and
four dimes. All three were a factor on defence.
"Im just trying not to be one-dimensional," Gay said. "[Friday,] my shot
wasnt falling. Tonight my shot wasnt falling. I just wanted to make an
effort on defence and on the glass...try to make myself a part of the
game, because Friday I didnt feel like I was."
Shot selection was still an issue for Gay and so too were turnovers - he
had five. With six minutes remaining and following a sloppy pass, Gay
missed a 25-foot three-point jumper and committed a frustration foul. As
a result, Casey took Gay out of the game.
Whether the Raptors coach felt he needed a breather or whether he was
sending Gay another message, the forward responded when he re-entered a
minute-and-a-half later.
"I know he probably didnt like it," Casey said of his decision to sit
Gay down midway through the final quarter. "But I know whats best for
him. He needed to sit down for a little bit [and] let his second wind
kick in. We got him right back in and he finished it out."
Gay checked back in with 4:24 left to go with the RRaptors up two on the
Bucks.dddddddddddd He didnt attempt a single field goal the rest of the
way, but knocked down a couple free throws and pulled down six big
rebounds.
"Nobody wants to come out of the game in the fourth quarter," Gay said
candidly after the victory. "I dont know anyone who does. But no matter
what happens, you have to stay focused and do the best you can for the
team."
The Raptors took advantage of six Milwaukee miscues in the third quarter
to stretch their lead to as big as 13 before the Bucks made a run in
the fourth, tying the game at 85 with just under six minutes to play and
Gay on the bench at the time. A similar stretch, late in the second
quarter, turned the game in Atlanta, but this time, the Raptors
responded, mainly on the defensive end.
"We are becoming a resilient team," Gay said. "Times where we would fold
last season, we are showing we can come back after a tough loss and
still win games."
Dominating the boards, the Raptors out-rebounded Milwaukee 60-38,
including an 18-6 advantage on the offensive boards Saturday night.
Including Gays career total, seven Raptors tallied five or more rebounds
and the team won the battle of the boards for a third consecutive game.
"[It was a] concerted effort to rebound," Lowry said. "Thats our team
game. When we go to small ball, we all have to rebound."
Through three games, the Raptors have out-rebounded their opponents by
42 with a plus-23 differential on the offensive glass. Moving the ball
After totalling just 15 assists in each of the teams first two games,
the Raptors registered 19 dimes on 31 made field goals.
"I think the ball really moved a lot better tonight," said Lowry, who
had four assists without committing a turnover. "I think everyone made a
concerted effort from watching the film this morning of last nights
game to try to get the ball from side to side and get everybody involved
early."
Quiet night for Jonas
For the second straight night, Jonas Valanciunas played fewer than 18
minutes, a product of the match-up against smaller, quicker front lines
according to Casey.
Casey has opted to use small lineups in the fourth quarter of each game,
matching up with both the Hawks and Bucks, who have done the same.
"When you go small, hes not ready to be that five man yet, alone," Casey
said of Valanciunas, preferring to use Amir Johnson or Tyler Hansbrough
as an anchor in the middle with four smaller, more versatile players.
"Hes going to get there, believe me - hes going to get there. Hes not
there yet."
Up next
The Raptors return home, where theyll host the two-time defending
champion Miami Heat at the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday.
