The Ref Stop

Where's the advantage ref?

The avuncular one
In my game yesterday, green player is clearly fouled around half way out on the wing. The ball falls to his team mate with open grass in front of him. Called advantage and green runs 40 yards unopposed to the edge of the opposition penalty area and then a weak cross results in him losing the ball with 2 team mates in the area screaming for the ball.

Cue screams of "where's the advantage ref?"

The Ref Stop
I normally tell them their mate just wasted it for them!
 
Another odd thing about this game. Second half was intense. Both teams going at each other, but fairly. Lots of hard but fair challenges, lots of shoulder to shoulder, but fair. Both teams are bleating "foul ref!", "free kick ref" and I was thinking I wish it was, I could do with a breather! I have been running back and forth for a long time without a break in play...
 
Haha, I spent my second-half camped at one end. Away defence would try and play it out from the back and get caught EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

I didn't cross the halfway line from my second caution (68 minutes) until the final whistle.Home finishing was woeful, too many flash dans trying to walk it in.
