Mike Petke Gets Further Punishment

By: Dave Martinez | June 23rd, 2009

MLS has announced an additional punishment for Mike Petke, who mouthed off to officials after the match.

That’s right. Mouthed off.

He will be unavailable an additional two games and has been fined $500 bucks for the infraction. And don’t forget; Kevin Goldthwaite is out for tomorrows game with yellow card accumulation.

Insane.

What more can I say? Maybe you guys can help me think of what Petke may have said that could have been so egregious!

A three game verbal ban. How laughable.

  Ya no kidding. My guess is he asked for a jersey exchange with the ref since he was playing for the other team. Who knows. Ridiculous. Boyens has alot of work to do come tomorrow!

  Josh Wicks (former USL Portland Timber) mooned the Seattle fans. Why no extra punishment for him?

  Now THAT is something to investigate! lol Ridiculous Mickey Mouse rules . . .

  What about Carlos Johnson getting his foot hacked by Stuart Holden? Or Danny Cepero getting a concussion in Houston?

  Mickey Mouse.

  Why are you guys automatically assuming Petke didn’t deserve it? I’m not great at reading lips, but I’ve seen players constantly this season tell refs to “F*ck Off” or other phrases creatively using the F-word. So Petke probably said something worse than that for them to do anything about it.

  Also mooning as I’ve heard of it, is when you show your butt. Wicks had elastic undershorts on and goalie gloves, how did he get the undershorts on and off fast enough to moon them?

  if they can extend his red, then they should have gone back and punished Holden on that hack on Johnson, especially since he wasn’t cautioned in-game and doesn’t have that rule holding them back.
