Wasn't really certain where to put this but it feels like a bit of a "trick" to getting advantage right.
I think I've been getting advantage wrong pretty much every time, partly because it's at Sunday league level.
I'll explain: I like to keep these games flowing, stop start is frustrating for players and with the weather this cold it's just a bit rubbish for everyone. This usually earns praise from both sides after the game.
The only part I think I'm lacking on is advantage, whenever I'm awarding it around the middle of the pitch I struggle to judge when it has ended and based on reactions I think I am cutting it shorter than fair.
Because the pitches are terrible and the players inconsistent, playing advantage in the middle almost always means a couple more passes made and then a bobble or misplayed pass means the ball turns over. At this point I usually play on but the advantage was around 5-10 seconds at best and the ball hasn't really come forward much if at all.
Should I just bite the bullet and slow the game down by blowing for these fouls in the middle and only focus on advantage when an attack is on (which I think I judge much better)?
Experienced tips and help much appreciated!
