Message: [QUOTE="tkday, post: 2482456, member: 2229"] I'm with Nashy and AP on this one. You can't create grey areas for this kind of thing. The rules clearly state, don't touch a ref or you will get in trouble. Yeah it was soft, yeah they could've just fined him. But frig me, then people think they can start getting away with it a little more by bringing in excuses. The thing is, this is a rule that can always be avoided, don't touch the refs on purpose. If you or the players think it's stupid then it's quite easy to solve, just don't touch him. It's not like it's a shoulder charge, or head high tackle. It's something that will never have a bearing on the game and can be completely and absolutely avoided. It may have been a harsh penalty and maybe they could've just fined him, but they are setting a clear example here, don't touch the ref. They asked Sam was it unnecessary and could he have avoided touching the ref, answer = yes. Then he gets charged, simple. [/QUOTE]
