My concern though is he's be brought into play simply for the fact that he was the intended recipient of the pass.

If he does not distract or prevent the defender from getting to the ball then it doesn't matter.

Given the information I've been presented with here, I can't see any way how the player in question could be penalised for offside under the current application of the law.

Yeah not sure if I've explained it perfectly, but the way I saw it was he only came back on side so that he could get goal side to defend our defender.
My issue is the whole "coming back onside". For me it shouldn't matter. If you were offside and you affect the immediate play then it should be called, regardless of whether or not you curved your run back onside first.
The issue then becomes what is the 'immediate play' and I guess I'm expecting a reasonable advantage, just like with any advantage played.
But as I said, that's how I think it should be. No idea if that is how the law works.
Cheers for the answers though.


Fair enough, it's not like the offside law has never had its controversies. But like I said, under the current application of the law and guidelines for the referees, I can't see how a player in the situation you've described can be penalised for offside.

Think EG's got it pretty much spot on. What you have to remember is that a player can be in an offside position without being offside!
 
So much easier in the good old days.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

The penalty didn't warrant a card.  I think this highlights a lack of understanding of the rules around "sending off the last man".  It has to be an obvious goal scoring opportunity, and it certainly wasn't.
 
It was a peculiar time to make a substitution, at a defensive corner.  The referee was correct, as far as I can tell, to restart play as soon as the substitute entered the field of play.  So this is perhaps more of a question for your coaching staff than the referee.

Exactly. there is nothing in the Laws Of The Game about "the last man" or " the last defender".

Lets be honest, the sub was made mainly to waste time which everybody could tell, so the refs actions were easy to understand

Apparently not to G or Mumby

Not really. Ref stops time when play stops for sub. Ref starts time when play restarts when sub gets in position. Ref tells sub to hurry up if he thinks sub is deliberately trying to waste time.

Interesting end to the article when they say the "resulting penalty was converted". Why was there a penalty given when the foul was committed when the ball wasn't in play?

Its no longer a problem.

Because the infringement occured in the box - you go back to where the foul occurs.

Tofeeman is right, as the ball wasn't in play a penalty shouldn't have been given and play restarted with the original free kick to the blue team. No doubtr after a red to the keeper for violent condiuct

What`s the law when a defender takes a goal kick, passes it outside the box for the keeper to run out and collect it, and then bring it back into the box and picks it up, is that allowed?

almost 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
It's a pass back.

It's not allowed. It used to be before the pass back rule, but would now be an ndirect free kick to the opposition.

Where would the indirect kick be taken from? Inside the box where the keeper picked the ball up?

Yes, just as with any back pass being picked upnn

Thanks for the reply on this, we were playing against a certain ex All Whites Coach and now a Central League coach who was adamant he was allowed to do this. Somehow because of his so called `status` they continued on with this, even though we had assurance from a nearby official that he was incorrect!

It`s pretty simple I would have thought, there`s not many ex All White coach`s in Wellington, that are also a current Central League coach!!

I find it bizzare that some one would even try that, let along try and get away with it. Bizzare..

Should Petr Cech have been sent off for his foul on Adebayor?

Three for me, and two for them.

almost 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
No.
 

If the referee applies advantage during an obvious goalscoring opportunity and

a goal is scored directly, despite the opponent�s handling the ball or fouling an

opponent, the player cannot be sent off but he may still be cautioned.

almost 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
So if Bale had of stopped playing, and say Terry or Luiz ran in and thumped in an oggie, it would save Cech getting sent off?

Seems wrong to me.

Three for me, and two for them.
