While it is good to encourage the ARs to use their voices during the match, it can't be recommended for them to verbalize "advantage" or "play on". This does not fit within the Laws of the Game.
Under Law 5 the REFEREE is the only one who is permitted to allow play to continue for advantage.
Under Law 6 the Assistant Referees are to indicate "when offenses have been committed whenever the assistants are closer to the action than the referee..."
Hence what I have recommended above is a method for an AR to clearly indicate to the referee that the AR has observed an offense, but he does so without interfering with play. The referee can either take this advice from the assistant or not.
