Ok. Thanks for clearing that up Supermonkey. That's not how I read it. I read it as: stopping play to talk to the ref'. However, if it is as you have described then obviously that would be acceptable. Sorry.
I'm not sure you understand the point I'm trying to make. If you stop play to consult the referee and you find out that the player was in fact onside, how would you/the referee restart play?
If you want a whole team on your back because you have just called the referee over only for the referee to confirm that it was not offside then be my guest. Because that's exactly what would happen it you did that.
But what if it wasn't? Then you would have just denied the team a goal scoring opportunity by your own incompetence! Oh yeah and everyone in the ground would know it....!
The point is he wouldn't be appointed! But someone who has 'interests other than refereeing' may pretend to have been appointed in order to gain access to the children.
