I'll leave you to look those statements up in your rule book and case book and comment on why they completely contradict what you are saying.  |
Based on what was reported here, the R didn't attempt to change a call. However, if the officials disagree, what would you recommend they do? Continue to argue about it until they come to blows. Referees are proud people, now you got two very proud people officiating this game and neither will give in on there position. What do you do next? Maybe it's not specifically stated in the rulebook but I would not have a problem with the R for the game making a decision and saying let's move on. The point being we got a decision, made by the Lead Official for the game and now we are going to move on.
