Hi all,
After watching a few matches in the world cup I noticed that even if a player in an offside position ran after the ball, which was played when they were offside, the assistant referee only raised their flag when the player touched the ball. What I'm confused about is why the assistant didn't raise their flag earlier because surely the player was interfering with play by running at the ball?
Also, this isn't a question but I was wondering whether anyone had any tips for raising my flag for a throw in because sometimes it takes me a while to process which way to raise my flag even though I know who's kicked it out.
Thanks
