Yesterdays game, yellow v blue. Cross comes into the box from Yellow after a short corner, yellow attacker in the box offside as he heads the ball wide. FK given, indirect signal shown and I call out for the offside.
Goalkeeper grabs a spare ball from the side of the goal drops it at the point of the offside, lumping it upfield and catching yellow defence cold and blue attacker (easily 5 yards ahead of the yellow defence) is in one on one. No flag from the CAR but I give the offside. Cue 2 dissent cards, and general anger from the blues citing 'you can't be offside from a goal kick'. Apparently it doesn't matter how many times you tell them it wasn't a goal kick, it was a free kick doesn't matter. This is on top of a CAR flagging for offside from a throw in 10 minutes earlier The joys of sunday league football!
