Question Number: 35866 1/20/2025Zluvka of Liberec, Liberec Region Czech Republic asks...This question is a follow up to question 35865 Hi, this was the situation in our league.
A player made a through pass. A teammate ran after the pass. The defender fouled him. The ball was 5 meters away from the player at that moment. Otherwise, the player would have gone to the goal himself. The referee awarded RC DOGSO. VAR saw offside. Realistically, I think the player is only in an offside position 5 meters from the ball. Especially when it comes to a pass rush situation. It was changed to IDFK for offside and RC was cancelled.
Maybe he used this advice.
** A player in an offside position may be penalised before playing or touching
the ball, if, in the opinion of the referee, no other team-mate in an onside
position has the opportunity to play the ball.**
If the referee didn't use this advice, then it should have been a DFK for the fouled player according to VAR and no card, right? Thank you, Zluvka - The distinguished panel of referees is still discussing this question. We will have an answer shortly. Thank you for your patience.
