Just wondering if any Monarchs fans are around here and went to the Pirates/Monarchs game tonight. I noticed Steve Kelly get a "Manchester - Steve Kelly - (Phys. Abuse of Off. (3) Game Misconduct), 10 min, 16:58", anyone know anything about this? Can you fill me in tomorrow when it gets in the papers?

I am in LA area but curious like you what happened. This is all that I have been able to find. What you see is what was reported.

Steve Kelly (three game suspension for abuse of an official)

...Steve Kelly. He was serving the first game of a three-game suspension for abusing the referee following Saturday night’s overtime loss to Portland. Seeking to have Kelly’s suspension reduced, the Monarchs are sending the tape of the incident to the league office....

I was ordering a few extra tickets for around the holidays and inquired about Kelley.

The response was simple, Coach B and Kelley were disputing a call and Steve apparently "brushed" up against the ref. Now this is the front office speaking so I don't know how much is true. I was listening on the radio, and the incident barely got mentioned.
