It’s been a while since we’ve had a post in the occasional series on refereeing decisions affecting Atlanta United games. Not only have we had relatively few games, but there haven’t been too many controversial calls to examine.
This week, Atlanta fell victim to the video review system. The boos in the stadium were directed at center referee Mark Geiger, who is apparently the referee of choice for historic Atlanta United games. After the opener at Bobby Dodd, he was already no fan favorite here in the South, and did himself no favors with this incident.
