This You need to confirm exactly why the flag was raised and then able to accurately relay this to everyone. Also be prepared for the absolute 💩 storm that follows. Correct outcome or not people will be unhappy that an incorrect flag went up.

True, which I answered in my next paragraph 😁

Well that could be explained by wanting to keep all performance data in one place and watches tend to be very individual and not offer real time monitoring from a third party device. That said there are features of the vests that should offer better performance than wrist based gps mainly not...

They aren't allowed to wear watches but can wear a vest as per LOTG and the software offers tracking of everyone in realtime in a view of everyone. You'd expect them to be pretty accurate as well but I don't think that is the sole reason.

Not really. You can't be double rewarded so if you've been rewarded in one section you can't use the same example to reward somewhere else unless its MCS and you want to reward positioning as an example.

Sometimes you just have to be wrong in law in the spirit of the game. This is one of those incidences.

So far off topic. You'll be getting a warning ⚠️ 🤪 Still not changing it back...

We've also got the definition of a quick free kick. "A free kick taken (with the referee’s permission) very quickly after play was stopped" Given all that happens between play stopping I can hardly say it sounds like a quick free kick. And where there is cautioning procedure play must be...
