Yes but saying "what? where?" to a ref, when he is clearly giving the player the 1-4-1 sign is also an offense. I dont agree with the penalty, but its in the rules. So basically your beef should be with the rules, and not the ref.
(Im going on what has been said in previous posts, I didnt see the game live)
I see where your coming from bolter but there are refs out there which will be a tad leniet on the "dumb" rules and enforce the better rules to a much higher standard.
The dye field was a shambles.
