Ronners - it's an interesting point about when a Ref should blow for full time. To my knowledge, Refs are given some leeway to wait until an attack concludes before blowing the whistle. This always seems incongruous to me as once time is up, surely it should be up? A few seasons ago at NYS, I recall the Ref taking this rule to the extreme and letting play continue as long as it took the Owls to score - 11 minutes I think!!

Brin - you're correct - it was a shocking decision!
