Refs who give warnings

    Need to fuck off.

    Just heard a player get a warning for a high shot on the run... either he hit him high and it's a penalty, or he didn't in which case you need to STFU, as he's done nothing wrong.

    Moussey's taken up reffing League?

    What's with the whole mousey/warning thing?
    Feel like I'm missing out here.

    I'd assume he warns instead of infracts.

    It's a hard life......

    First world problems

    Fucken. Aye.

    It's either a penalty, or not.

    And why the hell do they still call players by their first name instead of their number?

    Completely disagree, all refs need some lenience and let the game flow, if they don't think it's that bad warn them then carry on, if they do it again later blow the penalty.

    If it's something like holding down too long or slightly offside then fair enough to let the play flow with a warning but hitting someone in the head is pretty straight forward.

    But the same thing is called a penalty by another ref though. Leniency doesn't work when only some refs apply it, and the others stick to the letter of the law.

    Well that's an issue that's always going to happen with 2 refs no matter what. You can't just call every semi-high tackle a penalty, if there is the slightest bit of doubt in the ref's mind they should always just warn them and carry on.

    I didn't see it, but apparently Josh McCrone got penalised by the ref for querying a decision. Suttor said "you're not captain, Dane Shillington is" to which McCrone replied "it's David, and he's off the field, I'm vice captain". Penalty still stood

    McCrone's a champ.

    Warnings are fine. They let the game flow. It's not all black and white as Flack suggests. There are 50/50's and rather than blowing a penalty, you can simply warn a player to go lower, or get up quicker without halting the game. If everything penalisable was given there'd be 50 penalties a game.

    McCrone strikes me as a good cunt, Dugan, Ferguson and co. and the biggest fuckwits off the field.
     
  15. Old Mate M Perry

    Yeah he's done it tough and finished an apprenticeship and has been in and out of first grade. Just level headed I guess.
     
  16. Cribbage RG Cribb

    The penalty had already been given for something unrelated; he just got marched 10 for backchat.
     
  17. Incey BC Jacobs

    Who gives a shit about warnings, if we see another take a dive I believe everyone in the stadium should raid the pitch and give him a real reason to stay down.
     
  18. Toolman TR Man

    Ferguson just seems like a smartass which doesn't bother me seeing as I am one myself. Dugan the other hand comes off as really arrogant for some reason.
     
  19. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Seen them all at some shitty club in Canberra, Ferguson, Dugan and two others pretty well lined up in front of the mens toilets hassling any scrawny uni cunts that walked through, flicking their ears, pulling hair, all manner of gay shit.

    I never said evrything had to be a penalty. They have the option of shutting the fuck up if it wasnt a penalty. If you head high someone its a penalty, if you hit them at the top of the chest etc, its fine, and the ref doesnt need to say a thing.
