When "I" called Luca for high sticking I was looking at his scoop to hold thing he was doing and trying to figure out if it had gone from using centrifugal force to hold the ball and progressed to just having it sat in his mallet. The goal ref called high sticking so I went with that as it was above shoulder height, in contact with the ball and not a shot, it seemed easier than trying to remember the other rule and explain it (not good reffing). I think I'm right with what I was going to call though, please correct me if I'm not. Also not sure if going with the goal refs call was a good thing when all the crowd around the ref was calling the same thing, was I going with the other ref or pandering to the crowd? I'd say I was just listening to the goal ref but should I take into account them being influenced by all the people shouting around them?
