Law 11 - Offside 7/29/2015

Rich of Wilmington, DE USA asks...

If on a set play. In this case a direct free kick from about 28 yards from goal. With a wall set on the 18. If the attacking team places players in an offside position, in this case at the corners of the 6 and a player in the wall jumps to play the...

Law 11 - Offside 7/24/2015

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I have 4 follow-up questions:

1) Referee Joe McHugh showed a link (http://garcia-aranda.com/offsideifab/eng004video007.html) & then posed the question as to whether it was a deliberate play or a deflection. As I looked at the video, it appe...

Robert Saccoia of Roseville, MI USA asks...

Does the defender have to control the ball to negate offside?

Law 11 - Offside 7/23/2015

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I have a question about something Referee Joe McHugh said. He said it wouldn't matter whether the defender's play was deliberate or not. It would seem to me that if the first defender's play was either a deliberate save or a deflection, then a defl...

Law 11 - Offside 7/22/2015

Tim Eliot of New York, NY USA asks...

Trying to get an answer to this offside rule question: Was playing in a game the other day, and was mystified by the situation. I was playing goalkeeper, and one of my defenders tried to clear the ball. It hit *either* an opposing attacker *or* anoth...

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 ...

Law 11 - Offside 7/19/2015

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 ...

Law 11 - Offside 7/13/2015

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 7/10/2015

Derek of Cary, IL USA asks...

The attacking team plays a long ball from their own half toward the other goal. A PIOP from near midfield runs toward the ball. AR anticipates that the PIOP will touch the ball and signals for offside. PIOP sees the flag up and stops running witho...
