Appauling Spectator

What does everyone think of the guy that threw the foam footy at the ref? I reckon its bloody appauling
 
He shouldn't have done it, even if the ref was bad.

Having said that, it was a great shot.
 
It was bad, but no harm done. Hopefully they find the guy and he is banned for life. Anyone see them mocking the bodyguards on The Sunday Roast? Hilarious hahaha.
 
Once again, as said before I blame the sponsors for supplying foam balls to fans before the game. It happens every home game at Penrith and it wasnt going to take very long for fans to start getting angry and wanting to take their anger out on the ref with a ball.

I don't think they are to blame, they probably didn't consider the stupidity of certain spectators. Same as usual though, a few fools ruin it for everyone.
 
They wouldnt?

I mean, a loud roudy crowd. Between Penrith & Parra isnt a great 'neighbourhood' (Lets be honest here) you would surely think with 18,000 they could have done without them.

Who wants a foam ball to take home anyway?
 
I love foam balls, they are fun to fidget with while watching tv or something haha. Might just be me though!
 
Should have thrown a match ball LOL.

No all jokes aside its wrong to do and I hope he is found and banned for life.

Would have looked if Cummings through a ball back at him :lol:
 
NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley also refused to rule out banning for life the supporter who threw a mini football that bounced off the head of referee Ben Cummins as he walked off the ground following the Panthers' 26-18 loss to Parramatta on Saturday night.

Despite reports that police had apprehended the culprit and ejected him, Panthers officials yesterday said there was no record of a fan being escorted from the ground.

And they admitted it would be difficult to identify the person who threw the object because there was no CCTV footage of the incident.

It is the second time this season a fan at CUA Stadium has thrown a promotional rubber football at an official or player. One was hurled at Canberra fullback William Zillman as he dived over for a try in round two.

Looks like they wont be able to find him?...
It was a good Falcon none-the-less.
 
This is why they give the fans foam balls and not normal balls.

Nah but I hope the guy gets caught. Penrith won the penalty count too.

Two fair tries disallowed though. One foot in and one foot out of the in-goal means play on ... surprised there seemed to be any support for the decision he made there!!!
 
Actually come to think of it, I saw the first half and I was spewwin at some of the calls too. I would've been angry if I was a Panthers supporter too.
Haha it was funny when Priddis started celebrating the run away try that was called back. Stupid decision though.
 
Roosters vs Knights had big footy's handed out in roosters colours.

I'm sure if an opposition got kicked something like that they wouldnt want it.
 
I dont really care if he gets found or not too be honest. The reff had a pretty bad game and was getting sprayed by all the fans on his way off. If someone threw a glass bottle or something then fair enough but cmon a little foam football? Who gives a toss. The guy who threw it deserves not to be found cause of the great shot. Thats just my take on it anyway...

Robert Finch came out and said that Cummins had made the right call to bring it back....

By the rules of the game, Cummins and the other sideline officials were right, BUT it is a stupid rule. If you get an advantage by running off, then i think the player should have the option.
