Curious
I didn't read this part of your post clearly enough. All I can say is that I would be shocked if any official watched a punch, saw contact, and passed on the call. I can always quibble about what should and should not be called, but I have NEVER seen a ref observe a punch and pass. Just because you think that's what you saw on video doesn't mean that's what happened.
There was a Norway vs. Brazil world cup game where Norway got a penalty kick that tied the game late in the match. Every replay angle showed that nothing had happened - the defender had not committed the foul and the announcers ripped the ref. The next day in the paper, a photographer with a different angle provided a beautiful shot of a complete take down shirt grab that all replay angles missed. You probably have one angle on this play, and it isn't sufficient to say that either ref was looking right at the punch and saw in live action what you see on tape.
