Are you asking us to be understanding about the fact that the referees have a much better view of the field than the players? That is something I would
expect. You wouldn't be doing your job if you guys as a group didn't have a better view of the events than the individual operators on each team did. We don't just appreciate the difference in perspective, we
expect it.
As far as appreciating the difference in perspective, the refs are the ones ought to appreciate the difference in perspective. They ought to understand that 358 could not see that they were tipping over 56 in the process of normal game play. They also ought to consider this in their deliberations.
Rest assured I hold no animosity toward you. I simply feel you made a mistake, something every human is guilty of. Would that I never made mistakes! You are well within your rights to disagree with my analysis of the situation and I am glad that you shared you opposing point of view. The fact that I have a forum to present my objections to your call and you have a forum to explain it is a tribute to this website.
