On PL yesterday, AR ran towards half way line, left hand outstretched, palm upwards, flag in right hand.

Why the left though?Certainly diff here, almost every pre match talk has the line
" flag up and set yourself on fire" ( a line which has clearly been handed down year after year), at tight goals,
Anyone factual enough to see if there is approved signal for such things globally?
The global signal for this is the one directed by the global body, IFAB, in the global book, LOTGCertainly diff here, almost every pre match talk has the line

This is a bit odd... I still don't get the idea of the left hand!
I can crab like the wind but I would never crab after signalling a goal. I signal the ball is over the goal line with the flag in my right hand (same for GK, corners and tight goals). Once the ref has seen, then it's 30 yards at pace for one man and his dog in the rafters - flag still in right hand.
What's the normal procedure for signalling a goal?We are still with flag raised to attract attention though. Nowhere are we told when to drop flag, as, clearly, we cannot write down in text when that attention will be attracted...
So when do you drop the flag? By this logic, you're stuck running around with a flag up for the rest of the game because there's no specific instruction to drop it!We are still with flag raised to attract attention though.

Well actually 'logically' whatever flag signal you make for any incident (offside, goal kick) you have to keep it (while running around) untill the next incident with a different signal comes alongSo when do you drop the flag?

You would continue to signal until you've been acknowledged in some way. Be it a whistle or a thumbs up or an advantage signal from ref (examples).But, is there an order of preference for offences and when you drop the signal?
What if you flag for a straight red leg breaker, the red doesn’t acknowledge you (or give the foul) and then the next offence is a careless trip on the halfway line?
Should you keep signaling for the more serious offence?
