No quick throw line out - "Marked!"

Why not a FK?

9.7a - deliberate infringement

If a try was likely, did you consider a PT?

IMO it wasn’t probable, otherwise it would have been. There was another defender in the vicinity.

This bit for me says PK rather than FK

So, I had the “defender cynically preventing a QTI inside the 5m channel”

1) Fks are useless

That's not relevant. If the law requires a FK, that's what you have to give.

 

[Marc Wakeham]

Re FK / PK in the general are of this law.

"Intentionally" dancing around to prevent the LO is likely to see me issue a PK rather than a FK It is intentional infringing and "Acts contrary etc..."

A player at the front of the LO getting his Jump / timing wrong and catching the ball short of the 5 is likely to get a FK.

So FK for a f**k up, PK for a piss take?

Reasonable. Scrum gets their timing wrong & engage early = FK. Deliberate early charge = PK

but if there was a better option than a FK awarding one somewhat rewards the side that caused the FK. You might be being duped.

That's a different debate.

In the incident I had, I would very much describe the offender's actions as a p*ss take. As the player with the ball turned towards his teammates, the offender kept moving to prevent the throw. I warned him to step back, he didn't comply, PK.

that sounds spot on to this non-referee. Akin to not obeying a lawful instruction etc etc as an analogy.

"Him"?

I would suggest that using the masculine to discuss law is in keeping with British law

Since 1850 masculine words in legislation are “deemed and taken to include females"

The world is no longer stuck in the 1850s. Even if Rugby's "old farts" are.
