New Advantage?

[viper492]

That is why the astute referee (ie me) will always avoid saying "Blue knock-on, advantage Red" in one breath. It should be "Blue knock-on" then wait a beat to see if there is any prospect of advantage. If no, whistle. If yes, "advantage Red"

There we go - thank you for the advice - I will apply that one next season

Adam's words sounds so much better than my long explanation, but boils down to the same thing...no advantage to team under pressure...my convoluted version is what happens when English happens to be the coach and the ref's second language!

[LAWS]The advantage must be clear and real. A mere opportunity to gain advantage is not enough.
If the non-offending team does not gain an advantage, the referee blows the whistle and
brings play back to the place of infringement.[/LAWS]
