[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 1145490, member: 12190"] I'd have to go back and watch the examples. The obvious point (which you probably are well aware of) is that knock-on advantages are far shorter than penalty advantages, and not considered a '"foul" as such. In fact it's really unhelpful that referees often indicate advantage but it's not always immediately apparent which type. Knock-on advantages often don't get long at all because they are not penalising foul play but error, and if it passes it's usually because the team with the ball and the advantage have made some territorial advances up the pitch, or they've kicked the ball away upfield in which case it's often gone instantly. If the side with the possession simply holds onto the ball and isn't gaining any advantage, they should as you say go back for the knock-on advantage. I don't recall the example you are referring to, but is it possible Argentina had made some, albeit maybe minor, gains upfield? Edit: From what you've said that he's still holding out his arm when he gives England the penalty, if that's true, he communicated poorly but was probably just about to end the advantage when he awarded a penalty to England. Still, that would be pretty weak practice to not communicate the advantage has ended first. [/QUOTE]
