Ouch. One thing you might be able to do, having a decent raport with the official, is a variation of Bob's latest post here. The big fat caveat, however, is that you'd have to do it quietly so only he hears you. Suggest he look it up after the game. If he gives a positive answer, that may be all you need to do.
