I had the pleasure of being AR for a cup semi final this weekend. However, one instruction I am often given is regarding gk kicking from hands and usually consists of "if no one appeals for it have a quiet word and try to manage it". Now I know this is goes against the Laws of the game as really an offence is an offence regardless of where the ball is but on this occassion, blues v reds. Blue GK sends ball down field and the phase of play ends in a gk for the reds.
The opposite AR had his flag in the air, so referee goes over and awards a freekick, within a few moments a blue players is shown a red card
I checked at half time and the fk was for deliberate handball by the GK outside the area and the RC was for OFFINABUS.
Its worth noting that I wasn't given any specific instructions by the referee and he was correct on both occasions but is this one of those "game management" moments where keeping the flag down and having a word with the gk would have been better?
