If the ball is thrown inaccurately and misses the targeted catcher and then hits the ground and bounces into their square where they attempt to catch and fail can they then use catch?
If they then still fail to catch and the ball bounces around some more and then lands back in their square can they use catch again, or just the once per turn? And if they can't use catch for a 4th attempt at catching the ball can they use a team re-roll (providing they haven't used one thus far in their turn)

Happened in the last match I played and the opposition tried to use catch twice in the same turn, once on the failed catch and once after it'd bounced around like a mo'fo. We decided he couldn't use catch a 2nd time so he used his only TRR and caught it! DOH!
LRB 5 and my Orcs TR165 lost 3-1 against a human team with a TR of 97!!! (He did have Mighty Zug, Griff Oberwald & 2 Misc Mayhem Cards though!!)

Relevant text.
Secondly there is no limit to the number of times you can use the catch skill. You can reroll it each time.
For comparison here's the Dodge text.
Unless otherwise stated in the skill description, the following
rules apply to all skills:
2. All skills may be used an unlimited number of times per Action.
The Catch skill can be used for catching a bouncing ball as it is a 'catch' roll. It can also be used to catch the kick off as that uses a catch roll as well.Catch (Agility)
A player who has the Catch skill is allowed to re-roll the D6 if he fails a
catch roll. It also allows the player to re-roll the D6 if he drops a hand-off
or fails to make an interception.
Secondly there is no limit to the number of times you can use the catch skill. You can reroll it each time.
For comparison here's the Dodge text.
As you can see, Dodge specifically excludes a player from using it multiple times.Dodge (Agility)
A player with the Dodge skill is adept at slipping away from opponents,
and is allowed to re-roll the D6 if he fails to dodge out of any of an
opposing player’s tackle zones. However, the player may only re-roll one
failed Dodge roll per turn. In addition, the Dodge skill, if used, affects the
results rolled on the Block dice, as explained in the Blocking rules in the
Blood Bowl book.
