Cobbing was a common Quidditch foul that consisted of a player using their elbows excessively to hurt an opponent. All players could commit this foul.[1] In the final of the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, Ireland was awarded a penalty because the Bulgarian Keeper, Zograf, had cobbed Mullet, an Irish Chaser.[2]
