Club assistant referee

[Zimmyman]

Just a quick one some confusion today does a club AR take he’s teams own left back or the oppositions left back ?? I’ve always thought they took the opposition left back ?

Usually on their own LB I believe

 

[GraemeS]

Completely up to you - but their own LB has always been standard for me and generally seems to be what CAR's expect to be told around here.

 

[Swinno94]

I've always been their own left back!
Otherwise it would be carnage

 

[WalterPinkman]

Always been their own LB for me, think its an unwritten rule between clubs

South of England, own defence, but varies elsewhere.

Always had respect for a referee who put CARs on right-backs when the pitches start cutting up.

. . . and back in the day when we sometimes asked CAR's to go with their left back first half, then with their right back in the second . . .
