Yesterday's game red v blue. Red 2 and blue 5 had just been cautioned for a bit of handbags. From the restart the ball was played into red goal area and the keeper caught it. Had he not, blue 9 would have been deemed offside as he was attempting to play the ball. I shouted "advantage keeper, play on" and he hoofed the ball upfield. As I was running next to red 2 to make my way upfield he looked at me and said "that was a shocking decision", clear and unnecessary dissent. I blew up, showed him another yellow then red and he walked off without complaint. However, red captain came running in shouting "you can't do that, we were on the attack, you have to play on and come back to deal with him!" I told him that if your player commits an offence you do not get an advantage. Captain was having none of it and continued berating me. I'm not a fan of quick yellow cards as a rule and like to do it by the book but on this occasion it was the easiest way to shut him up.
Advantage when your player has offended? Brilliant.
