Question Number: 13587Law 11 - Offside 8/27/2006RE: Recreational and competitive Other Bill Doumouras of Toronto, Ontario Canada asks...This question is a follow up to question 13366 1. Scenario A: Goaltender A takes the goal kick and the ball goes to forward A who is in an offside position. If the forward scores a goal, does it count?
2. Scenario B: from the goal kick, the ball is deflected off a defender to a forward in an offside position? If he scores a goal, does it count?
Answer provided by Referee Ben Mueller In both scenarios the goals count. No offside can occur directly from a goal kick.

View Referee Ben Mueller profileAnswer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer No offside offence is even possible because the ball has not been touched or played by a member of the opponents own team. The moment to even consider offside positions is not present.
Goals count.

View Referee Chuck Fleischer profileAnswer provided by Referee Keith Contarino 1. Goal. There is no offside infraction if a teammate receives the ball directly on a goal kick, corner kick or throw-in. 2. Of course. Offside is only judged when the ball is played or touched by a teammate. If it had deflected off a teammate, offside would have reset. Deflecting off an opponent never influences offside.
