I was on the other sideline and i was saying the boy was short, and referee threw the flag at me and ejected me with out a warning. the line judge said that was wrong and didnt fight it. So is this right

Football officials don't really like ejecting people. Admitting we weren't there, but based on both what you've said, and the way you said it, I strongly suspect your ejection was justified. And no, there's no warning needed.
I will echo the other question though ... what in the world is wrong with tackling at the shoulder pads and/or reaching over a blocker?
