"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
The usual suspects, that supporters still seem to think are funny after the 999th repetition:
"They've been doing it all day ref!" (following a penalty after two minutes of play. You can't hear this one too often).
"You should be wearing a <insert colour of opposition strip> jumper ref!" (Because all refs are hopelessly biased against your team. And the opposition as well, apparently.)
"Have you only got one arm, ref?!" (after frequent penalties one way. And it must be the ref's fault, not the players).
"Give it as rest ref, you'll wear out the pea" (in a game with frequent stoppages. Refs just go looking for penalties. We all know it. And if there aren't any, they'll invent some).
"Jesus Christ, he's on his feet ref! Are you blind?" (Sorry Einstein, you can't handle the ball in a ruck, even when you're on your feet. Well, under the old rules anyway).
To a certain height-challenged second grade ref:
"Who gave the hobbit a whistle?" (Who'd be a ref? Honestly).
To a former first grade ref famous for his baggy shorts and thin legs:
"Hey ref, you've got lucky legs. Lucky they don't snap in half". (Tough crowd).
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).
Heard in the Perry Lakes stand where the refs sit, as the ref's sound feed was relayed on a loud speaker with much panting and puffing:
"Is this a porn soundtrack?"
Thanks to our refs. They do a great job and don't get enough recognition. Most people don't even take the trouble to have a word or two with them after the games, but leave them standing there on their own. Buy them a beer. Talk about something other than their decisions during the game. Some of them actually resemble human beings when you get to know them.
Your avatar is one of the best I've seen, Ref.
Along with Ron Atkinson's .........“I never comment on referees and I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat”
And just to show they can sometimes give as good as they get, ex Aus ref Peter Marshall's......... " Get off. You're ugly"

Hey Ref...your wife phoned....you left your glasses at home
"Remember lads, rugby is a team game; all 14 of you make sure you pass the ball to ..........."
Sydney Uni v Randwick last weekend:
Ref to Tim Davidson (Uni Captain) "There are too many Penalties"
ABC Commentator voice over (Pappy I think) "Well stop blowing your whistle all the time then."
Still laugh at the "I'm a Referee, I'm soft" line from the other day though![]()
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
I was playing in a game in the London (in my youth).
The opposition Thurrock RFC had a particularly nasty flank forward, especially to our no. 10, but he was having a dig at a few blokes.
The message came from the skipper Geordie Joe McV to sort him out.
So, at the very next maul, I gave him a right hook.
Of course he immediately retaliated and we ended up in a bit of scrap.
We got pulled apart by our skippers.
My skippers, in a broad Newcastle accent said, "It's lucky the ref is as useless as you pair of ..... or you would both be off by now!" (all the swearing edited).
Fortunately for me the other bloke was still fired up and punched his own skipper.
Their Skipper told the ref that he was going to send his player was going off!
The ref didn't have a clue what was going on, so he took their skippers advice and gave us a penalty!
Brother Gallagher I hear you
