       Yes, it's quite puzzling as to what made him decide that there
       was no longer an advantage. In the absence of anything else
       plausible I wonder if he thought, or was advised, that Grealish
       might have been offside.

       I’ve seen the clip, thought it was poor at first but from of
       Hooper and AR2, think it might have been offside

       I think Simon Hooper has been very hard done by as he did Man
       City a big favour.
       After the foul he certainly played (and signalled advantage) but
       when the pass was played you could clearly see the AR halting
       his run in readiness to raise his flag for offside.  As the AR
       will have communicated this to Simon Hooper he "saved" Man City
       by coming back and awarding the original free-kick.  Whilst the
       "advantage" would have been better, it was no good to Man City
       if flagged for offside.  The outcome is the best that it could
       have been for Man City and their reaction betrays a staggering
       ignorance of the law as well as equally staggering arrogance.
       Perhaps it would have been better for overall communication if
       the AR had actually raised his flag for offside (like in the
       olden days before comms were around).

       I have just seen a still of the pass and Grealish is very much
       onside.

       Or do as rugby do blow the whistle to show offside then blow
       again to say "no advantage, fk here". All about communication

       He was clearly onside - a flag going up there would be an
       equally terrible decision. My thought was AR2 heard Hooper via
       the comms that he was pulling it back and so decided to save his
       legs.

       Somebody must say something to him unless he thinks the ball is
       not going to get through as he signals advantage and almost
       immediately blows up

       But it wasn’t offside. Not even close. So how has he done Man
       City a favour? Apologies if I’m missing something but I really
       don’t understand this post
