thanks mate found it on youtube. I agree it was a tough call for the refs but lookin back they made the wrong call.
Still cameras, video cameras, spectators - none of them had exactly the same view as the ref who made the call. From what he saw, he made the best call he could. That's what i do every game. I hope that I'm right more often than I'm wrong, but to hear the crowd and the players I'm wrong about 100% of the time. But that's part of being a ref in any sport - making split second decisions to the best of your ability.
Everyone's had a few days now to study pictures and video. I bet you've studied the pictures and watched the videos a few times before you came to a final conclusion. The referee, with four players blasting away at each other, had less time to make the calls than it's taken you to read this post.
Whether Dan made the right call or not, I'm willing to bet that he made the best call he could in the situation. I know Dan pretty well and I don't think he has a bias for or against either team. To imply that he does just shows what level of respect refs in this sport receive.
Chicago had a good quote from Max about chaos and winning - "Games are won and lost in chaos." if the game descends into chaos, the referees are the ones who end up having to decide who wins and loses. Until the sport progresses to the point that instant replay is an option, we're going to have to live with the referees decisions.
(I cribbed a quote from Chicago. What can I say - I got shot in the head a lot this weekend)
Andrew
Let me remind you what Dan Perez did with us on your field in Denver.
We played a Us pro team and their last player was had a hit on hes shoulder when he hung the flag. You gave them a 1-4-1 and the game went to us. Then Dan Perez came down and after talking to the other captain over turned your call and gave them the game. He said that the player had intention to check himself beacuse the player had said that he looked at hes shoulder and couldnt find any hit. So beacuse he had "intention" it wasnt playing on. Now I suggested that intention to check means CALL FOR A ****ING PAINTCHECK! As anybody could otherwise say that they had intention to check and keep playing with hits. But the call went to the other team and we missed the quarters.
True or false Andrew?
Also we get a 3 game supsensions for throwing a pot but when the same thing happen to one of the big US teams nobody gives a flying ****. Unbaised my ass! We have to play way way better than some teams to even have a chance over there. You are not like that, but you know very well that alot of the reff doesnt make the calls against Dyansty, XSV etc in NPPL.
And the funny part like Missy pointed out is that the same teams accuse us for getting favors. 1 team that we beated with 100-0 started to bitch about that. makes me sick.

In the 2 videos above I saw playing on and spinning from both teams... and you expect the refs to sort it out so that both teams are happy with the result??? I'm not getting into what Dan Perez said or didn't say but how can you blame the refs for a call when you don't even have any ground to stand on because you're team is playing the grey just as much as the other team? Someone had to lose.
If you know he's out, the smart thing to do is turn your back to him to make it obvious that you shot him first and hope he racks up some more penalties whie he's at it.
This assumes that the referees are capable of correctly figuring out which player was shot first in such a situation, which has historically been a stretch and might explain the general Professional reaction to do the exact opposite.
