Hi,
Definitely, a newbie AR question. As a Busmans Holiday, I always get the Club Linesman role, when I watch my sons play, based on "your qualified to do this".
Anyway, I was recommended on the course to flag when it was inevitable that an offside player would get to the ball, even before they actually did.
The reason for asking, in a recent game the ball comes over high up the field, striker off-side runs onto it with no one else around, and I flag as he's a few meters off. Striker sees the flag, and halts run. After the game, the ref spoke to me and said I flagged before he touched the ball.
What would be every ones advice?
Thanks
Chris
