So... I was at a game this afternoon of a league two club, ref was interesting but I thought he let the game go well. Anyway the thing I had an issue with, was the bloke sat next to me. There was an advantage call in which the ref took an age, and it got they guy chatting saying to people around him that the ref can take as long as he wants to bring back an advantage. I piped up and said, no it’s a few seconds maximum. He got saying ah well I’m qualified and higher than you and the laws say refs discretion. I didn’t think I was wrong so pulled up laws and from what I read and showed him it said a few seconds. I said a few is three, but he was adamant I was wrong. So I wanna know, how long should the advantage be played and what do the laws actually say?
