People are complaining about the whistle but the whistle doesn't stop the play it is the indication that the ref has made a decision the play ended. It technically ALWAYS comes after the decision is made.

Whistles are in the refs mouth. As soon as the ref decides the play is over he blows the whistle. He doesn't decide the play is over then put the whistle in his mouth.

You are basically taught since rec football to play until you hear the whistle. Everyone followed that except the ref.
