I had an Adult rec league game yesterday, over-40 I think. Older retired Army dude started the 2nd half after barely playing the first half. 2nd play of the half he's defending in the post when a cutter comes through and he sticks an elbow right in the cutter's ribs. I had a whistle and he turned around in shock. Then he smiled and said "good call Ref". He was testing the waters and luckily I was paying attention otherwise he would have done it a few more times and it probably would have escalated.
