Yeah. That's entirely possible. But it would have been nice to have the chance to actually win or lose the game in the way it's meant to be played.
The thing that galls me the most isn't the fact that we lost the game. It's that it always seems to be against us when one of these obscure fucking penalties is called. And always at the most inopportune time possible.
I'm not one that always claims the refs are out to get us. Or that games are rigged. But shit like this sure makes it hard to not at least wonder sometimes.
