Hi all,
Fairly new to this forum, recently started refereeing this season and wanted the opinion of some of you more experienced referees, in relation to the title the most common quote so far I've heard players claim for is hands in the back or "ref watch the hands" my reply to them is mainly the point that if I blow up for a foul every time someone raises their hands to an opponent we would be here all day, my question is when do you decide what is enough to constitute a foul for hands, is it just standing their ground or do you have to interpret it differently based on intent.
Appreciate all responses.
