Guest User	Does anyone else still not see the point of the delayed flag when a player is offside?  I just watched the Australian forward run almost half the length of the pitch before the Lino put her flag up.  I just don’t see the point.

Soon as the player makes their intent towards the ball it should be flagged as offside, no benefit at all in delaying the flag going up.

Approval: +7,279 Gold Stars: 306	A couple of TV pundits have made the same point about this and I agree with them: what if a player gets injured in the period between the offence and the flag going up (or VAR review)? If the flag had gone up immediately the game would have stopped and the player wouldn't have got injured. Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

The covering defender, thinking he has to make a challenge, clears the ball into the Pontoon and the ref gives a corner. The offside player's team have gained an advantage when the ref should have given offside.

Coke Drinker Posts: 21 Posts Per Day: 0.02 Approval: +43 Gold Stars: 2	We should also consider the amount of time from when the flag should have gone up, to when it actually does. Stops the game flowing and must contribute to the amount of excessive stoppage time. Stupid application of the laws of the game for my money.
