1) Continues yelling at the umpire Yell back
2) Re-enacts the play Re-re-enact the play
3) Gives the umpire the finger Give him the bird
4) Incites yelling from the fans Get the fans on your side
5) Follows the umpire to whereever he is going Follow the coach
6) Says "hang on can we have an appeal?" Get second and third opinions
7) Acts like a victim and starts complaining to various game participants that the umpire walked away from him and wouldn't give him an explanation Give him a hug

All the actions I listed are something that a rat might do to show up an umpire who is walking away from the play but cannot see whatever the rat is doing. How should an umpire (or his partner) deal with the actions listed above?
