I'm not good at dialogue so I hope you don't ding me for not writing any between me and a Ref. Obviously you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar so being a 'hard ass' to a Ref is not going to do you any favors nor your team any favors for that matter. At the moment my player is an Assistant Captain so its important to keep calm and try to talk to Ref rather than just come out guns-a-blazing over the issue. Ref's are people, they make mistakes like the rest of us. If talking doesn't work, what else can you do? You just have to suck it up and deal with it. Life isn't fair sometimes, that's just the way it goes some days. So I guess I'd just have to resign to serving a bogus penalty and lodge a formal complaint at the end of the period.
