A quick statement or comment about not while the ball is live or whatever might be ok, but certainly not a comment that makes other referees look bad!! That's why I think its pretty hypocritical of you to be upset over your partner's actions at the next dead ball.

Very valid point and I agree that my comment was not appropriate. I did approach the coach at half time to explain why I didn't stop play (the ball was live). he was OK with it then.
