famouswanderer Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 You can't be offside from a goal kick. I won some money with a couple of mates at the pub, they thought i was talking shite. Is this not common knowledge?? Quote
Whites man Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 It depends if Clive Knott is reffing or not. (get well soon big man if you are reading this). Quote

MickyD Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 You can't be offside if: you receive the ball directly from a goal kick, a throw-in or a corner you are in your own half of the pitch you are level with the second last or last two opponents Quote

MickyD Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 That'll be because the ball cannot be kicked forward from a corner. That'll be because the ball cannot be kicked forward from a corner. If you put the ball down in the arc as far away from the goal-line as you can, you can stand forward of the ball but still can't be offside. Quote
MalcolmW Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 If you put the ball down in the arc as far away from the goal-line as you can, you can stand forward of the ball but still can't be offside. As, for example, in the 2-man corner defending a lead in injury time. Quote
SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 If you put the ball down in the arc as far away from the goal-line as you can, you can stand forward of the ball but still can't be offside. That's because the arc is considered to be an extension of the very corner point, as you can't place the ball there because of the flag. But yeah, it's fine to specify you can't be offside from a corner too :P Quote

But yeah, it's fine to specify you can't be offside from a corner too :P No. Its because rule 11 in the laws of the game state (as Mickey said) You can't be offside if: you receive the ball directly from a goal kick, a throw-in or a corner you are in your own half of the pitch you are level with the second last or last two opponents Otherwise the rule would state that you cant be offside if the the ball is played from within the corner arc.

EyesRight Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Remember playing sunday league and someone saying if a player passes the ball forward to a goalkeeper they can still pick it up. Surely bullshit though but never really looked into it. Edit: Just checked. Bullshit. Didn't take long. The offense rests on three events occurring in the following sequence: - The ball is kicked (played with the foot, not the knee, thigh, or shin) by a teammate of the goalkeeper, - This action is deemed to be deliberate, rather than a deflection or miskick, and - The goalkeeper handles the ball directly (no intervening touch of play of the ball by anyone else). There are some very important exceptions to the back-pass rule. If a player passes the ball back to his goalkeeper using his head, chest or knee, the goalie can pick up the ball. The goalie can also pick up the ball if a teammate passes it to him by accident. For example, a defender might slice or scuff his clearance, accidentally kicking the ball towards the goalkeeper. In this case, the goalie can pick up the ball. Edited April 19, 2012 by EyesRight Quote
SatanGreavsie Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 What if the player in a offside position is in the air when kicked to him? Quote

Whites man Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Saw him tonight, hes up and about now. Good stuff, lets hope we have many more seasons of his debateable LBW decisions in the Bolton League. Quote
gonzo Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 what are the laws on corner kicks? they said on a live game on ITV last year that ball only has to touch the outside of the arc to be deemed ok..... Quote

Unless you're Joey Barton, and then the crowd can rip into you anyways, but that's because you're an 'orrible bastard. Quote

Good to hear he's on the mend. He used to borrow the School minibus for the local away games. The 2-2 draw with Burnley (the 9-men game) was a belter for a 14/15 year old! Quote
