With offside, it is quite usual to blow and then just stick up the hand vertically - without signalling the direction of the IDFK - because 99 times out of 100 it is obvious that the whistle has gone for offside.
I have been getting confused when blowing for other IDFK offences e.g. high feet and falling on/crawling on the ball. My instinct is to blow and stick the hand straight up but of course players are looking for the direction..
I am aware this is nitpicking... should we always blow, signal the direction of the free kick, put the arm down, and then put it straight back up to show IDFK... what is the prescription technique here... and should we really signal direction first for offsides too...?
