Excuse me! Not being able to hear HOW he said it obviously can make a difference, but I can't think of any acceptable tone for a comment along those lines. They are part of the crew. Pretty sure the referee can have someone removed from the table (don't have my books with me at work). Considering those two things, that guy say that to me and he would get some along the lines of; "I'm sorry, but as referee of tonights game you are part of my crew. There are some things I'm going to review with the table personel. You will sit there, listen to what I have to say and treat me with the common courtesy that should be afforded any human being. If that is unacceptable to you, let me know that now so I can get someone to replace you. And don't tell me to shut up again. Do you have any questions before I continue?"
If this "man" really was an official with 30 years experience he would know how to conduct himself. Sounds more like a person with one year experience that has been repeated 29 times. :(
