I'm sure this has been done before, but this happened again in my game yesterday so I'd like to hear some of your opinions.
White v Blue
White midfielder has the ball and is running towards the edge of his opponents' box. Opponent nudges/trips him, causing him to stumble. However, he regains balance so I play the advantage. He dribbles forward for about 1 1/2 seconds and is in a great position on the edge of the box - much better position than a free kick would have offered about 5 metres back. He has one blue defender between him and the goal and could shoot, however he opts to pass to a fellow attacker who is in an offside position. I penalised for offside and chose not to pull back the advantage.
The sole defender between the attacker and the box was about 2 yards in front of him, inside the box (attacker was still outside). There were a couple of players chasing, but attacker had enough space to pick a pass/shoot.
Thoughts? Did I do the right thing?
EDITED - better?
