Strange referee calls

[welshrugbyfan]

I meant to put this in a few weeks ago but forgot. OR it has taken me this long to get over this.

A few weeks back in the 4th grade Wanneroo V Perth/Baysie game wanneroo kicked the ball for a touch finder that didn't go into touch and stayed a metre or so inside the playing field.

The Perth defender who was about to be met by all and sundry kicked the ball into touch. Gave away the lineout to his team but at least he didn't get polaxed as he picked it up.

Phew!! The referee blew his whistle, what for you ask. The lineout maybe,

NO it was for and I quote“Deliberately kicking the ball into touch” .

Hmmm, still the strangest call I have heard in my rugby following life.

Anyone got any others?

many years ago in first grade( I think) the opposition was running with the ball,one of our players called"inside",& the player duly passes the ball inside to our player,who turned around & bolted
The ref blew the whistle & penalised him for" unsportsmanlike behaviour"

The referee was absolutely correct. He was referring to the little known rule "A player shall not deliberately throw the ball into touch with his foot" that was left out of the current set of rugby laws due to a printing error.

A gold star to that man with the whistle, and a bone for his dog.

Why did someone fall for this?

Maybe you're being a little tongue in cheek and can't find an icon for that post or you are dinkum and I've been offending people with the many 's I been using these past 4 years.
