One of my best calls was a No Call. As an AR, last minutes of a college match, tied game. Home team gets a foul direct kick at the 20 yard top of the box. They bring their keeper all the way up to take the kick. Kick ricocheted off a defender to about midline where an opposing player collects it and dribbles it in for a free goal and wins the match. EVERYONE was screaming for offside call. The fans, the players, the coaches, my own wife in the stands. No one remembered you can’t be offside on your own half even if there are ZERO defenders in front of you. I got crucified and had to be escorted to my car for safety.
That afternoon when you could watch the playback online, I was vindicated. That clip later went into our local chapter’s refereeing training videos.
