Well, normally. But if the linesman spots an incident and deems it worthy to flag for, then the assumption is that the head official hasn't seen the entire incident. I would think that the pointing to pockets thing is obsolete in top-flight football though where they've mics on.Would normally happen for cases where the ref doesn't get a proper view, no?
Oh yes!The pitch at the Riverside looks like the Wembley one from this camera angle. Hopefully Lingard sees it that way.
Such a sweet strike.
