Thanks Rusty. As an aside I find some terminology confusing and 'back to front' although I'm slowly getting used to it! For instance 'offside is reset' Is there a reason refs don't just say' not offside' and 'offside' :confused:
I am/was one of those dads! It is amazing how much it has changed over the years and unless you have to apply the law it is easy to fall back on 'this is how it isms'
IMO it is really poorly worded which is why it is hard to understand. It's written in 'double negative speak' when I'm sure there is an easier way to explain it....though I'm sure many have tried..and failed!
I assume you mean the defenders in both cases also made contact with the ball and didn't just try to get the ball? If not I am back to square 1 confused!
Great stuff, especially about taking your time and lino calls. I think that stops players trying to play off the asst refs v referee where they see a flag.
Thanks Mark. Useful too. Intention is king. Resets offside means is not offside and does not reset offside means is offside then in layman terms. Everyday is a school day
