But the arguments seemed to be based on the area where F1 fielded the ball and threw it. Is it possible he called a foul ball or INT on the BR? If you turn up your speakers you can hear the umpire say he called dead ball right away when one of the players (who apparently was studying the dictionary that day) started screaming "you have to call that instantaneous".

However, what do you want these guys to do? They forfeited the game. And with common SP mentality, only when they heard the umpire say the game is over did they resolve themselves to finishing the game.

Why is it these idiots think it is okay to act like a$$holes and then once they realize they've gone to far, all of a sudden they don't understand why the umpires are leaving? And though more prevelant in SP, there are a fair amount of FP adults (including youth coaches) who act in the same manner.
