Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 1752444, member: 1958"] Yea, I know what you mean. Honestly, I think the official may have just been shocked at what he saw and by the time he processed it it was too late to blow the whistle. For some reason it's taboo to say but you see all the time refs get absolutely swallowed up by the moment in big games in intense atmospheres. I don't really mind situations like last night though as a fan. It had the feel you were watching a bunch of grown men going after it and battling and not expecting to be bailed out by a whistle or anything. [/QUOTE]
