Arsenal goal

[Guest Pinto]

Fabregas stops the ball for him after taking the corner, can anyone find a good angle to see if he was actually offside coming from the endline? Masch is on the nearpost 1 or 2 steps from the goal line so its a close call.....

Or is Adebayor offside when the corner is taken? Or is that phase 1 of a two phase play and he's onside for phase 2?

 

No one knows anymore. The refs, the linos, the commentators, pundits, fans, FA. None of them.

Doesn't matter to me. What was serious was the fact that there were three Arsenal players completely unmarked in the penalty area, Adebayor being one of them. Unbelievable.

[Tosh]

whoever was on the near post...

[AJ The Red]

no offside there

[John am Rhein]

That's right. Film doesn't prove 100% Van Persie was onside, but he was offside our defender at the near post (Mascherano?) must have taken a few pretty rapid steps back, which would have been a strange thing to do.

Is that you Souey?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

didn't touch the ball nor impede the keeper. No offside

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Its not offside because the ball didnt travel forward, it actually travelled back.

[Nerik]

There are no offsides when a corner is taken. 2nd cross, pass etc. would then bring it back into the equation.

Where you on Mastermind the other night ?

I thought it was offiside last night, Masch comes off the line and when the ball is headed I think it's flamini or maybe Fabregas between him and reina.

you cant be offside when a corner is taken

[Cobs]

you cant be offside when a corner is taken

i bet we could be

[Rory Fitzgerald]

You can only be offside when the ball is played forward. The first pass was backwards and the cross was also marginally backwards.

it was a short corner not a direct cross.

Only if Sky had it on their agenda though

This is not correct, you can be offside from a backpass as well, but not many are aware of this rule.

 

What actually matters is how many players that are closer to the byline than the one receiving the pass, it needs to be two for you to be onside, usually the keeper is one of them, but this rule come to life when he has left his line and is further up the pitch together with the defenders than the one receiving the ball from a backpass.

...You'd think this would get boring!

 

But it doesnt

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Offside is determined when last ONE OF YOUR players touches the ball

Laws of Football

 

A player is in an offside position if:

he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent

 

 

so how the feck can you be offside from a backpass?

Change opponent with player and you will see it.

 

Like I said it usually never happens because 999 out of 1000 times the keeper will be closer to the line than the player receiving the pass.

 

I once made such a backpass and it was called offside thats why I am aware of it, it caused a large debate with the ref and the the person from the FA being there to judge the refs performance.

I suppose if you were offside when one of your players had the ball, an opponent intercepted & made a back-pass. Although now, that'd constitute a different phase of play or something
