Who Called the Referree a ...?

[Em-Forcer]

To an elderly lower grade ref who always brought his dog to the games:
"Hey ref, bring your seeing-eye dog on." (He took it in good humour, as always).

Hugh are you talking about Rick?

Or rather:

Rick, are you talking about Hugh?

I suspect

It may have been a subtle pun (too subtle, maybe...):

Hugh ('Who') are you talking about, Rick?

[Burgs]

You might be on to something there Em....

[LarryNJ]

The guy in my signature said it best without talking.

[whyeff]

I dont know if the same rules apply in Oz as they do in the Uk We have the utmost regard for the referees and the linesmen. What other country supplies walkers forb seeing dogs at half time, and offers a white stick cleaning service at half time. If you do not believe me take a look at the english refs during World Cup 2007. Nuff said on that score , look forward to seeing your guys in August playing Saracens. Allthe best from the UK

[Em-Forcer]

Hey Whyeff - you got any details on when these matches are? (Force in England in August, that is!)

Oh - and welcome, by the way! Just realised that was your first post

There can't be two old refs with dogs, surely.

Then there was the ref who issued a penalty during a scrum.

Ref: I'm penalising you number three, you're boring.
Prop: You're not that interesting yourself ref.

I thought that myself.

Who's president of China?

hahaha. gold!

[shasta]

gold!

Which one , jono? The smart arse ref or the highly intelligent forward with the quick riposte?

[Ecky]

...the highly intelligent forward with the quick riposte?

Are these a largely dying breed? Pretty few & far between in recent times, it seems...

[jono]

well he OBVIOUSLY wasnt a forward.
he must be a back covering for a forward

[shasta]

You better read the thread again jono. What you're proposing is a physical impossibility. The intelligent one was a prop. No back could ever sub for a prop.

Who's on first?
