My response was not intended to carry one shred of animosity.
If it came across that way, I apologize. It was meant to signify the shock that the referee would express in learning that the opposing team was victorious. It would certainly make a mockery of the final bit of game action.
I truly don't know the official ruling on this, so there is no way that I could even get into a "fight" about this issue and certainly not with you. You've always been cool. I just would take all measures possible to never serve as the test case which sets the precedent!
