Hi. Two almost identical incidents recently in different matches open age and u18s. Would appreciate your feedback.
Attacking player striving forward around halfway line on right side. Careless tackle foul by oppo but they carry on I give signal and shout "play on - advantage".
Then within 2-3 seconds (on advantage I count 3 in my head before I might bring it back) the attacker has played a cross field diagonal ball to a fellow attacker who is flagged as being offside.
On both occasions I went with the offside decision based on the same view that I would have if I allowed advantage and an attacker missed the goal i.e. they have had the advantage and it is their fault, not mine, that their player is offside (or misses the shot).
On both occasions although it was not a huge drama the attacking side felt aggrieved and suggested I should have bought play back for the attacking side free kick where the foul occurred a couple of seconds before.
What's the view on this please? And is there a passage in IFAB LoTG that deals with this? Thank you.
