After seeing a referee signal like an upside-down windscreen wiper to indicate offside, I thought what other non-LOTG signals are used to communicate common situations. I can think of many as below.
While some of theses have pretty standard international signals some are done differently. What do you do to signal these or other ones? What’s your favourite?

- Offside
- Calm down
- It wasn’t a foul
- It wasn’t a goal
- No more of it from you
- Move along and get on with the game
- Move away from me
- Come to me
- Substitution request acknowledgement
- Hurry it up (on a restart)
- It’s a throw-in
- Persistent infringement
- And my favourite, a smile, if used effectively is the best tool for match control.
- My least favourite, the pointing to the stands/car park to send a player off. There is a good chance that it could make a bad situation worse.
