Offside Query
If a ball is played through and there is a player in an offside position but another player runs through from an onside position and receives the ball and forces a save from the keeper....meanwhile the player who was originally in an offside position and has continued running forward, slots home the parried save....what should the decision be ?
I know if the ball came off the cross bar then it probably should be offside....just a little uncertain when the keeper has made a save.
For me the originally offside player has gained an advantage to get to the parried save first.

Re: Offside Query
Offside - If the keeper has parried the ball and therefore not deamed to have been in control of the ball then its offside.
Re: Offside Query
His position at the time of the through ball is irrelevant.
It depends on his position at the time of the shot.
If onside when the player shoots then he's on side, if offside when the player shoots then he's off side.

Re: Offside Query
OTTO has got it right. Once the player coming through gains possession of the ball then it becomes a new phase in play.

Re: Offside Query
So in essence, the player who was in the offside position is deemed 'passive' once the onside attacker controls it even though they are both involved in the attacking run.....I understand the ruling but not the logic behind it.... having been a goalkeeper I know how much 2 attackers running at you forces you to alter your body positioning to cover the possibility of a square pass.....can never understand how someone is 'passive' in an instance such as this ? (particularly if they end up finishing off the move).penalty wrote:OTTO has got it right. Once the player coming through gains possession of the ball then it becomes a new phase in play.

Have always said the offside rule should be black and white. If a ball is played past the last defender and a player is in an offside position at the time it's played, it should be given offside whether he gets the ball or not. End of story, no discussions or interpretations required.

Re: Offside Query
It makes it dammed hard for let's say a club linesman. He may well have been told by an official to stand with his flag up for offside but then over ruled by same ref. In the meantime the linesman has now to run to keep up with the game. Bring back the OLD rule if you are in an offside position you are OFFSIDE.

Re: Offside Query
Offside - should go back to the way it was , too much confusion as you can tell just by the posts on here - if official referee's assistants dont always get it right then how the hell is a club linesman suppose to ?
From what some of you are saying, the rule favours the player in the offside position that is too lazy to get get back onside.
He may as well stand near the penalty spot then ?

Absolutely agree. It's one of the main reasons I lost interest in going to watch games (at any level).Caretaker Coach wrote:Offside - should go back to the way it was

Re: Offside Query
As soon as the player who ran onto the ball is considered active and ok the offside player will become onside, therefore he is now active also and is free to partake in cleaning the crumbs.

Re: Offside Query
As long as the player who was previously in an offside position (and didnt interfere with the through ball play) is in an onside position when his team mate takes the shot, then its play on and a goal as far as I understand

If the player in an offside position is gaining an advantage by being in that position they are offside. They don't have to be the receiver of the ball.swannsong wrote:If a ball is played through and there is a player in an offside position but another player runs through from an onside position and receives the ball and forces a save from the keeper....meanwhile the player who was originally in an offside position and has continued running forward, slots home the parried save....what should the decision be ?

I agree with this.

Goal side of the defenders
Less distance to cover to tap in the parried shot
Stretching the defence to mark two players (one onside and one off)
Distracting the goalkeeper who must no anticipate two forwards and not one
If the rule allows for this then why not just sit a player on the edge of the box and once through on goal cut the ball backwards to this guy for a tap in? Saves one on ones and increases the percentage of opportunity at goal.
I would have no problem with the linesman leaving his flag down until the "offside" player becomes active, then raising his flag and explaining he was originally offside. The ref can then make a judgement as to whether he did in fact gain an advantage and rule accordingly.brushmancity wrote:It makes it dammed hard for let's say a club linesman.

Re: Offside Query
Well he's not offside until he's active so why would the linesman have his flag up anyway.
