Emma Jonson Can you be offside from an offside?
The ‘active’ ruling for example. Players can be in an offside position but not be offside. A player is in an offside position if, when the ball is played by a team-mate, they are nearer to the opposition’s goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.
Why do fullbacks take throw ins?
The result is that the fullback gets possession and needs to either recycle it backwards, wait for a run by a forward and play it to him, or deal with the pressure himself and dribble. If the person taking the throw is the technically gifted attacker, he would get the ball back straight away after the lay off.
Can you be offside if the ball comes off an opponent?
A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage. So if a defender plays a poor pass, and that pass is intercepted by an opposition player who was in an offside position, it would not be offside.
What happens when an opposing player plays you the ball?
If an opposing player plays you the ball (or you steal it from them), while you are in an offside position, you are considered to be onside. In the example you mention, I believe the player would be considered to be offside, as the ball is played to him, even if it glances off his opponent.
When is the ball last played by an opponent?
If the defender played the ball deliberately, and it wasn’t a save – there is no offence here. If the ball deflected off the defender or the defender was making a save, the offside offence should be called. it is deliberately played (except for a save) by an opponent. +1 for a great answer.
Why was Vardy offside in the first half?
Vardy standing in an offside position, Ashley Williams attempted to head the ball clear (away from goal). However the ball comes off the “wrong” side of his head and goes towards the goal… and is lashed in by Vardy. The defender did not have control of the ball.
