I have never seen a decision like so.. so i conclude GHFA refs are of a slightly better standard than that of EPL..

Double Whammy. The AR is supposed to be in line with the second last defender but doesn't go past the half way line. He then flags an off side for a player 7 yards inside his own half. The referee who is only a couple of yards away then accepts his AR's decision rather than over ruling him. Strangely (well maybe not) the players didn't protest too much as most of them didn't realise the error.
Sepp blatter will be sorry for not awarding us..

However, instead of ordering it to be retaken, 28-year-old Kurtes - who was named Referee of the Year by the German Football Association (DFB) in 2014 - wrongly awarded an indirect free-kick to Norway.
