"Referees should not punish actions that are accidental or inadvertent."

It's probably the most significant defintion referees make, game by game, 
incident by incident:  "Where's the line - when is it crossed?"

And mosst importantly: "Am I being consistent about it when it comes to 
calling penalties against the Crew but none in favor of Chad Marshall?"
