Reader mailbag: Are MLS referees against Toronto FC?
Mistakes by referees are part of the game and while recent errors may have cost it some points, TFC just have to live with it.

Nice job with your reporting of PRO admitting their mistakes. But it does leave me wondering what Toronto FC can gain from this. Will they be compensated in any way?

In case you missed it, Jase Kim, Toronto FC’s technical video coach, told TFC Republic this past week that the MLS club filed a complaint to PRO (Professional Referee Organization), the organization that oversees referees in MLS, with regards to two recent instances.
In a 0-0 draw against CF Montreal on July 16, Josh Sargent appeared to be fouled from behind by defender Brayan Vera inside the box as the DP forward attempted to latch onto a pass from Alonso Coello. No penalty was given and coach Robin Fraser said later on that the play wasn’t reviewed by VAR.
