So you knew that there was a problem, but then conspired with one of your fellow officials to play an extra period anyway?
That may be the most unethical action that I've ever heard of an official taking.
I'm totally ashamed that you are an officiating colleague. You flat out cheated and screwed whichever team should have won following the end of the 4th quarter.
What is the proper thing to do "in your judgment" is not what is the correct thing to do for a real official who actually has the courage to enforce the rules as written.
