Jim Curtin tried as best he could Monday to not say anything more about Alejandro Bedoya and Haris Medunjanin’s red cards in Saturday’s loss at Atlanta lest he get himself into any more trouble.
But the Union’s manager couldn’t help going there anyway, and really, he didn’t have much choice.
In addition to affecting Friday’s home league game against Toronto, the ejections affected Curtin’s preferred lineup for Tuesday’s U.S. Open Cup home game against the Richmond Kickers (7 p.m., live streaming at ussoccer.com).
The plan, it seems, was to start Anthony Fontana, Derrick Jones and Warren Creavalle in central midfield.
