    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.

    "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.) Thank goodness! I thought it was just me!

    "Have you only got one arm, ref?!" (after frequent penalties one way. And it must be the ref's fault, not the players).As above

    "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). Laws. The old laws. Even now we get calls for "hands sir!" Or, at line out time "numbers sir!"

    To a certain height-challenged second grade ref:
    "Who gave the hobbit a whistle?" (Who'd be a ref? Honestly). hadn't heard that one - must ask him about it...

    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). He's still at Britannia every Saturday morning

    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

    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!
