Strange But True — Joy Hit With Fine
Injured defender Ian Joy has not played for Real Salt Lake all season, but that has not stopped him from getting in trouble.
The disciplinary committee within Major League Soccer fined him $500 today "for inappropriate comments directed at the officiating crew" at halftime of RSL's loss to Kansas City at Rio Tinto Stadium last weekend.
Joy was not on the active roster for the game and watching the game from the stands. But spokesman Trey Fitz-Gerald said all players — active and inactive — are allowed into the locker room at halftime, and Joy was in the tunnel leading to the locker room when he accosted the referees. Joy remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, and has said he hopes to be back to training by next week.
