Nonetheless its common in football. From many accounts he got an ok by one ref and either that ref or a different ref called it anyway. Its almost like none of you have ever played football before. Thats why its so rarely called because A) they give the offense huge leeway for it 2) refs will warn you first, 3) refs will even allow and tell you to correct it
