The Official REALLY did cost the team the game.

[ref18]

Now it was a good game, both teams played well and were evenly matched. Some shots were missed, but overall not many were taken as both teams had exceptional defence.

I guess the real reason it pissed me off was because, this person has been volunteering for a few years, and has been making stupid calls like this for a while. I've tried to explain the correct rule and interpretation, but this person is just so ignorant he doesn't care. It has to be done his way. Maybe he didn't cost the team the game, but he made a call that directly affected the outcome of the game.
