    You cant tell me the offical didnt act in more aggression toward smith then smith did toward the offical. The offical should be suspended or fined just like all the players can be. A good offical should go unnoticed during a game.

    Absolutely no need for the ejection there. The official put his arm on Smith's chest, Smith moved it away. Not in a violent manner or anything. Hell, after Smith moved the official's arm, the official came at him and pushed him again. Unjustified ejection, IMO.

    changed the outcome of the game too IMO. this looks like a case of a ref wanting to make an impact. he even looks smith in the face and says i shoved you.

    that ref was kind of quick there....

    i don't think that warranted an ejection

    Penalty? Probably
    Ejection? Hell no

    Pretty weak flag. He didn't shove, just moved the arm off of him out of instinct. He clearly wasn't even paying attention to who was touching him.

    I disagree that shove was harder than the one Seymour put on Roethlisberger
