Re: offside and preventing the quick throw - [a related question]
Call advantage if chaser fails to stop.practical guidance and would fit in with my natural preference of, moving towards the ball is always material. Do you call advantage or blow up straight away, thus closing off the option of the QTI if they are foolish enough to take it?
You do realise the law does not actually give you the option?[LAWS]6.A.8 (e) [FONT=fs_blakeregular]The referee must blow the whistle when the ball has gone out of play, or when it has become unplayable, or when a penalty is awarded.[/FONT][/LAWS]Players are expected to know that the whistle merely confirms the ball is in touch, and does not preclude a QTI. It is useful for those occasions when it is not clear if the ball went into touch or not.[This is where I am at odds with blowing the whistle just for a ball going into touch. In my view it should only be blown to stop play once available options are exhausted, and that includes qti's]
