Recently I played 2 games with the same ref, and both in multiple times in the game me(goalkeeper) came to claim a ball in a un crowded box with my hands, the forward with a very debatable chance at getting the ball, jumps into me after me catching the ball and holding it up, I fall down and expect a kick for the unnecessary challenge, but the ref believes it was a foul but she says she’s playing advantage, mind you the entire offensive team is already back in their half the only advantage is that I’m holding the ball instead of taking a free kick which pushed the team back
the section in laws of the game I am basing my complaint off is under the “other advice” page where it goes over various concepts with a little more detail,
The referee may play advantage whenever an offence occurs but should consider the following in deciding whether to apply the advantage or stop play:
-the severity of the offence – if the offence warrants a sending-off, the referee must stop play and send off the player unless there is a clear opportunity to score a goal
-the position where the offence was committed – the closer to the opponent’s goal, the more effective the advantage can be
-the chances of an immediate, promising attack
-the atmosphere of the match
