Law 11 - Offside 7/21/2015

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Is it sacrilegious to suggest that the game and the job of reffing would be simpler if there were no offside rule? It likely would lead to more offence, as well, which seems to be a FIFA theme.

At our drop-in games, we agree to take offside ...

Scott of Danville, CA USA asks...

I have a question regarding the ever confusing law 11 - offside. In particular the wording regarding the timing 'at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team".

I was taught and understand the condition "at the moment the ...

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

This is a Follow Up Question to Q# 29530.

This has been a fascinating discussion. Now I have a very similar twist on this question. Long ball kicked & 2 attackers run after it. A1 was in an offside position & about 4 yards in front of A2,...

Law 11 - Offside 7/12/2015

Scott of Livermore, CA USA asks...

I agree we should wait on a play where an offside player is simply chasing a ball, that the GK eventually collects, and it is reasonable to wave down an early flag. How about a a ball where the GK comes off his line to get it, but because of the prox...

Law 11 - Offside 6/20/2015

JR of Herndon, VA USA asks...

Two attacking players are going to goal with only the goalkeeper between them and the goal (we'll presume that the defenders are super slow and didn't make it back in time). The first attacker has the ball and shoots on goal. The second attacker is...

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

This is a Follow Up Question to Q# 29474

Thanks for all the explanations. I looked at all the videos. In the second goal (CLB vs. PHI) at http://www.proreferees.com/news-play-of-the-week---2014---wk33.php, it sure looked to me that the pla...

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...
