Update number one, Kyle Duncan got sent off last week against St. Louis City because he got a second yellow for doing nothing to Hafa Navarro.
I think it was one of those where the ref turned around and gave him the second yellow and sent him off because it looked bad, and then...
They went back and looked, and Minnesota submitted whatever they needed to submit to try to get the red card rescinded, and their appeal was upheld because they looked at the tape and said, well, this was not enough to send a guy off.
We're going to rescind the red card, which is good because Michael Boxall is also suspended.
It was a little bit funny when Cameron Knowles was asked about it after training on Tuesday.
He was asked about the suspension for Duncan because he would have missed the game this weekend if the red card hadn't been rescinded.
And his basic answer was, you know, it was not what we thought – Whatever we thought about it, we were also lucky that Jefferson Diaz didn't get another yellow and get suspended for that.
So it does look like the Loons will be able to cobble together some kind of back line this week, which may or may not be good given how their defense has been lately.
