It was a definite judgement call on the referee's part, he was at an angle as to not see the bobbling, becuase the bobbling would blocked from his view by the punters other shoulder...so the way i see it, if the ref could not see the bobble, how does he conclusively know the punter had possession....he told me that he did not see the bobble, which means he did not see the ball.....anyway, it is 48 hours later now and that is my statute of limitations for being upset about, lets win this week....
Another question all together is when does a referee signal that a field goal is no good? at the end of the play while blowing whistle or as soon as it is blocked...because on the game winning fg attempt that we had blocked the same white hat that called the safety signals no good as soon as it is blocked...i mean he comes running in saying no good, which it was obviously no good, but my guard picked it up and was running with it and being tackled during his no good signal....he never even saw the guard running with it....had we scooped and scored i believe he would have replayed the down under inadvertant whistle...when we got it blocked theier bench poored on the field, and 10 of hte defenders started celebrating..the balls was one yard in our backfield and our guard picked it up and their one player paying attention wrestled him to the ground two yards from the goalline, but the white hat, nor any other ref seemed to acknowledge this as even happening.....i know a PAT blows dead on the block, but seems we have jumpy referees on the game winning fg...on the road nonetheless.....
