Jay LaFountain of Coldwater, MI USA asks...

Offside question. I don't usually have questions, but I had a situation come up where every other referee I asked said the call should have been offside and I have no idea how it could be possible. I was a coach at the time, and I (badly) shouted s...

Vasilis of Derby, Derbyshire UK asks...

Larry of Danville, CA USA asks...

It is clear to me that when a defender jumps to head a ball or dives in front of a kick they are making a deliberate play, and by current Law this resets offside. But when is a block or header of a kick considered a save? If an attacker's kick is cle...

Mark Flynn of Glendale, AZ United States asks...

Thanks for the excellent replies gentlemen. I am now leaning even more to the wrong call being made. In this clip, the mexican defender blocks and the ball is deflected into the net. Now imagine if there was a US player in an offside position, and th...

Law 11 - Offside 9/21/2021

Mark Flynn of Glendale, AZ United States asks...

Offside or not offside?

An onside player shoots, is partially blocked by a defender and the ball deflects to an offside attacker (flag went up), who then puts the ball in the net. This happened last week and the goal was given. I believe t...

Law 11 - Offside 8/22/2021

John of Antrim, United Kingdom asks...

So, if the PIOP is not interfering in play in the above scenario, he could potentially be awarded a penalty kick.
