This happened in my game today.
Attacker making progress towards the goal, defender chasing. Just outside the area there's a shoulder into the back which unbalances the attacker. I'm raising my whistle to my mouth, I'm not going to blow immediately in case the attacker rides the challenge and there's an advantage. Before I even get the whistle up the defender follows up with a holding offence inside the PA. I blow.
Do I give the DFK or 'play advantage' and give the pen?
