Hi All,
Sorry if this has been covered before,
I've completed my first few games, and I am just after some advice really.
When in the middle with no AR's looking at tight offsides do you tend to give the advantage to the attacking player or defender? I've been going with the defender because it influences the outcome of the game less.
The age groups I've been doing have been U13's - 16's, quite often there ends up being a cluster of 3-4 players all kicking at the ball and potentially kicking eachother in the process, do you just let it play out and let the ball come free? If someone gets injured do you give them the free kick?
How do you deal with injuries, yesterday there was a coming together of 2 players challenging for the ball, I didn't see much in it but I saw one player go down, so I played on as it wasn't a head injury, as play quickly changed ends the "injured player was behind me" the manager has then screamed he's hurt and he sounded distressed so I've stopped play while the opposition was on an attack, I stopped it because my concern was the player, should I have carried on? The manager of the attacking team was obviously not happy, because earlier I'd allowed play to carry on when one of his players was down but I could see he wasn't in real pain.
Hope all that makes sense
Thanks
