No Advantage/Never A Foul For Ref

Sat Feb 10, 2018 9:55 am

The ref came back give a free kick , there wasn’t even a signal from the ref that he was giving the free kick no advantage was played

He resumed the game as if there was no foul look at the ref didn’t signal anything

There was never a foul in the refs eyes until bamba connected with the ball

Keep an eye on the ref the rules state advantage must be signaled by the referee if he deems a foul but can be played on

Refs don’t signal advantage they can draw it back without warning. Your confusing it with putting both arms out to signal playing on but it’s slightly different, advantage can be played without the ref doing this

I mean he didn’t blow up straight away so he clearly played advantage , just didn’t do it for long enough

Spurs game today ref put arms out for advantage

How can a signal mean two things ?

Well can only asume ref just last night waited before blowing? in reality he couldn't use arms to signal advantage because if he did we would have had a goal as cannot stop play once he uses arms, its questionable Wether he was actually going to blow for foul in 1st place as he would have blown up straight away! He probably felt sorry for us for making balls up and gave free kick :thumbup:

Both arms out means advantage not play on.

You've got a thing for arguing on every thread without knowing what you're talking about haven't you?

But the difference is it doesn’t have to be indictated as seen in plenty of matches, including this week and including our game on Friday. Yes it’s to indicate an advantage but signifies that the ref is allowing play to continue rather than blowing for a foul, mostly when play is advancing up the field quickly where as our example Friday he was waiting to see if there was an advantage before blowing

I don’t have a thing about arguing , someone suggested he didn’t play an advantage when he clearly did
