If he was talking to both teams then shouldnt they both listen to what he was saying instead of one team disobeying him leaving the other team attentive to him or as i like to say "distracted".



As someone said above, this argument is rather pointless.

Absolutely, both teams should heed the direction from the referee. One team did, the other did not. Where you and I are disagreeing is on which one "obeyed" him. The kicking team was being instructed to put the ball in play, and they did. That team was attentive to the referees direction, not disobedient, the other team was not attentive to his direction and were what you are choosing to call distracted. Of course if they weren't arguing with the referee, and heeded his direction, they wouldn't have been what you are choosing to call distracted.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
