Question Number: 36037 9/28/2025RE: Rec to Competitive as well as MS and HS Adult Jason Glazier of North Bend, WA United States asks...Another ref mentioned something he called “offside reset” which I never heard of or could find in a search, so thought I’d ask a question where it was referenced.
Away team was in the attack and had two players around the opponents 18. One player had the ball (was onside when received) and another player who was in an offside position when ball was received by teammate and also got ahead of the ball. However the 2nd never received the ball nor was involved directly in the play.
Player with the ball then took a shot which went straight to the keeper who played the ball off his feet versus hands (he was in PA). The keeper then attempted a pass which bounced off a receiving home teammate and bounced back to the original away player who was still in that same position and behind the 2nd defender on the home team. He attempted a kick which scored.
AR raised flag for offsides, but center waived off and counted the score referencing that “offside reset”.
The question is, who was correct?
Would the call change if the keepers kick bounced off an opposing player versus his own? - The distinguished panel of referees is still discussing this question. We will have an answer shortly. Thank you for your patience.
