Had my first experience of the new signal last night. FL assistant on my line. Gave a big flag then good step towards the corner. Very clear and easy enough to work with.
What if there was no signal in the LOTG originally and the referee made his own up?The vast majority of AR signals are prescriptively demonstrated in pictures in the LotG. If an assessor heard a referee asking for a non standard signal (for which there was a standard signal) in the prematch he should question that.
Give me an exampleWhat if there was no signal in the LOTG originally and the referee made his own up?
Unless you want to get some abuse, then you can get carried awayThat's the FIFA expectation too. Not sure about the 3 seconds part. Rather flag straight up to get referees attention turn and run away from the goal line with the flag out in front. Word of warning though. Don't get carried away and run as far as the dug outs.
