The Dairyland Dolls fought hard in their home city against the Gotham All Stars. It was a bout where the penalty bench stayed nice and toasty for most of the game as both teams were often rolling at half strength. In the end the score was 138-70. The Dolls will take on Grand Raggidy at 1:15 p.m. tomorrow and Gotham will go on to play either Detroit or Philly (depending on who wins the 8 a.m. game). The Dolls are now 2-1 in their record against Gotham. I've updated the schedule based on this most recent game.
Are there any training standards for referees?
The officials at this game were barely in control of that rink, and the referee call that ticked off Mouse enough to flash the refs was BOGUS!!!
It's clear that the refs were making it up as they went along... if not, then WHY all of those "official time outs" for Zebra conferences?
I realize... new rules and all of that... but WHY didn't these folks get thier feces consolidated and figure it all out BEFORE the match?
Mouse was wrong... no question about it... but she got MORE than adequate provocation from the bad calls and barely controlled bedlam out there.
I'm surprised that the match completed without somebody getting hauled out on a stretcher.
