I accept what you say, however we cannot continue to blame the Officials, they have to apply the laws of the game, they have to be un biased ( no matter how biased we feel they are being, believe me they are not ), they can only give what they see ( remember your line of sight is totally different to thiers ), they have to make a split second decision and STICK to it ( no Andy Gray graphics on a football pitch!! ). I would say, do you think you could / would have done a better job?
The AR has to watch the ball, the players, the defensive line and the Ref all the same time. All AR's are given prematch instructions by the Ref. The general rule nowadays ( in giving offside decisions ) is that you keep your flag down untill the ball bounces, which can often give the impression that the flag is 'late' and also lets the defending player/s get back again giving the impression that the attacker is onside.............however as he was offside when the ball was struck, he remains so when it bounces!!..........Confusing? you should try applying it!!!! LOL.
I personally find it much harder to run the line than Ref the game, mind you I'm fat and getting on a bit now!!!
Refs and AR's do a difficult job, but like you and I they are human and mistakes are inevitable, and lets face it, its only human that we tend only to remember the 'bad' decisions, especially when things are'nt going our way!
By the way what have you got against us Saturday/Sunday league Refs.............lol
Ok I'll shut up now!!
