And in a remarkable turn up for the books Sky clarified the Law
very accurately and concisely.
Had I been Andre Marriner I would have been running back to the
halfway line signalling advantage as if my life depended on it
but he has less need to make sure everyone notices his good
decisions than I do!

We all know who would have done that! 😂

Whilst Sky did clarify the law accurately, it's still worth
noting that Martin Tyler absolutely hadn't realised what had
happened until someone clearly told him in his ear about five
minutes later, before still going onto say he wasn't sure if the
'advantage' was by 'accident or design' and then feeling the
need to bring up an error Andre made three years ago!! Yet
another example of anything to do with refereeing being viewed
by the media with a negative slant. I wonder why we have a
problem recruiting and retaining referees??
But yes, had I been the referee I wouldn't have stopped
signalling advantage for at least ten minutes!!

Marriner did the sensible thing and let play continue and let
the advantage occur.
In this circumstance i can see no advantage to the attackers in
gaining an indirect free kick six yards from goal.
The likelihood of such a free kick being taken, resulting in a
goal is almost nil, with 11 defenders between the goalposts.
The incident last night is a very rare occurrence, but should a
goalkeeper should be allowed to make a save with his hand whilst
not gaining control of the ball, to prevent his team conceding
an own goal?
The defender should be obeying the golden rule and not be
passing the ball towards his own goal in the direction of
between the goalposts.
