The worst one for us was the county guy shoving Robson into the ball and getting a pen when it hit him last season. Hibs pen v St. John earlier this season was a shocker too. Not sure anyone knows what is going on with it these days tbh.
I don't think it's anything to do with a natural position. It's about extending your arms away from your body in order to make yourself bigger (even doing it subconsciously is deemed to be deliberate). It's bizarre really but I'm pretty sure that's what it is at the moment.
