Also, I'm of the opinion that the official could very well lack the testicular fortitude to make the call. Read below or read it here - it is what it is. If there is a call to be made, the call should be made. There was a lot of contact and a call probably should have been made .either way It doesn't seem like the media is criticizing this call very much, and we all know they now kill officials in the press, so why are some people on this board so critical of the call? There was contact and a whistle.

Would you make this call during the first 39 minutes of the game?
LOL. Yes, I am an English teacher at private college in Virginia. However, I didn't realize that misspelled words and the lack of proofreading was a crime, especially on an officials message forum. If you would like to keep a running score we can do that. If you would like to get into an English verbiage contest that will be fine too.

With each and every reply someone creates something new. No one said anything about the media criticizing. I simply stated about 25 posts ago that IMO (I can do this right, or should I spell it out) I think that it would have been a better no call and I stated the reasons I felt this way.

For you to hop in on the grammatical bandwagon is childdish. If it is imperitive that I use apostrophe's in the correct place and proof every word typed then maybe you can just give me your email address and I'll send it to you before I post, since you seem to have a doctorate in grammar.
