Had a game today, Red awarded a pen , I make a mark and they kick for touch. In kicking for touch the kicker goes well past the mark and sneaks an extra metre. I have a quick word and tell him not to steal extra metres .
2nd kick he does the same thing long run up and well past the mark, I make it clear to him that it's through the mark from now on . Not worried too much about materiality as the kicks are centre of the pitch.
3rd kick he does the same, I blow my whistle and give a free kick. So was I right ?
I felt it it didn't deserve a full pen , but thought he was pushing it too far and it needed to be stopped.
