Since you're in the student section I'm going to make a wild assumption and guess that you're a student. Probably not a big leap...
Anyway, by any chance, did you consume any alcoholic beverages which may have impaired your judgment? If so, then maybe the ref going over to the table and you getting ejected are just a coincidence. Did you do anything else that may have gotten you tossed? How are you sure that the official knew it was you that screamed that comment? Was he turned around at that instant and did you two make eye contact? Did he recognize your voice from earlier comments in the game?
Could game management/security think you were drunk and acting out of line?
You have conflicting statements in that you're saying you were there to watch how a 3-man game is called and you have very little experience with it, so how do you know that the extra switching/rotations were due to the ref's incompetence? I've worked with a lot of new officials and teaching them 3-whistle isn't easy, and it takes quite a number of games for some to pick up the nuances of when to move and where to be looking.
Now to play Devil's Advocate, the official probably shouldn't have turned around and addressed the crowd if the play was still going on. I'll agree with you there. No question that you could possibly miss an important play, but there are those instances when you can peak away (not that I'm condoning it). i.e. overload on the weak side, hot girl in the stands, etc.
