Saturdays game,
Blue winger sprinting down the line and as he is about 15m/10m from goal line, TJ (also sprinting, well positioned) puts his flag up.
Then a split second before I blow the whistle puts it down again , but I have blown
Blue winger "scores"
Blue spectators not very happy (it's the red TJ, naturally) they don't think the winger was in touch
I say to the TJ .. he was in touch ? And he puts his flag back up. Satisfied I move in field away from the touchline.
As the lineout starts to form the blue captain says to me "Sir, the TJ is saying it wasn't touch"
Sigh, so back to the TJ, and I say, "flag up, flag down, doesn't matter, forget the coach.. so, in your best judgement , what happened ? Touch or not ?"
Not in touch
Ok , no problem. Shame you put your flag up though!
Sorry, Sir
