Hi,
I recently refereed a game and had no linesmen so had to call offsides by myself. Early on there was a free-kick to Team A. One of the players on Team B decided to reiterate the point that I had no linesmen and I should watch for offsides. The ball came in and two of Team A's players were offside. However the ball went harmlessly into Team B's keepers hands so instead of stopping play for offside I let play go on in order to let the game flow yet I got an ear full from the player from Team B. Was it correct to let the game flow or should I have called for the offside.
Thanks.
