Law 11 - Offside 3/10/2012

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Law 11 - Offside 2/26/2012

Rowan Irvine-Roberts of Mission, British Columbia Canada asks...

Law 11 - Offside 2/24/2012

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I have an offside question. Can the referee apply advantage & disregard an offside infringement?

Law 11 - Offside 2/24/2012

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I understand the 3 reasons for the 3 scenarios. I would like to make 1 change & see if the referee could/should do anything different.
