Evening all.
I'm on the line on Sunday, something which I've done 5 or 6 times now. I'm getting more of these appointments this year as I'm on The promotion scheme, previously I've only done lines in cup semis and finals.
I try to pick up as much as possible from the more senior AR with me, but one thing that I've found to be very variable is how long to hold the flag for offsides. I've seen some hold the flag in position until the kicker places the ball in line with him (which can take quite a long time if the ball has been kicked away or a shot was taken. Some ARs seem to hold the flag for a few seconds and then put the flag down before the kicker is anywhere near them. I played over 1000 games of football in my career but nether took any notice of these things yet now they seem much more important!
Advice appreciated
