I think he was getting at that Orlando were a bunch of whiny diving little bitches all game and Rivas was buying into it. That said, I think both penalty and second yellow were a little soft but both were absolutely defensible. Unlike a host of other calls that have gone against us this season
An obvious pull in the box is not a soft penalty. Sure, sometimes players still get away with it, but we've had VAR for 5 years now, time to adapt.
The Reyes play you can argue is borderline but again you have to adapt to the situation. Making a borderline decision on a yellow is risky at best, and that's being charitable. It was a high risk/low reward tackle, especially at the beginning of the 2nd half, which probably cost us any chance of points from the game.
