The Off Side Rule in Footie


Ladymuck

Recommended Posts

Mystery solved?. ?You?re out shoe shopping and you notice that there?s some shoes that would go really well with that dress you?ve just bought. The trouble is, another girl has spotted the reduced shoes too and she?s between you and the till. To make matters worse, your mate?s got your purse and she?s busy at the back trying on a pair of shoes. The rules of shopping dictate that you can?t barge past your opponent, grab the shoes and wait at the front of the queue until your friend throws you some money ? that would earn you a retail red card. What you have to do is get your friend to throw you the purse first, then you can barge past the other girl, grab the shoes and clinch the deal.?


Simple, huh?

DJKQ...so, is it OK to keep the ball (George Best style) and dribble across the entire pitch and shoot even if there is no-one between the opposing side's goalkeeper and you?


Narnia...very funny (I am definitely not a man!).


And talking about shoes is guaranteed to send me to sleep. And a red card if off side? That can't be right...and seems harsh given that it seems easy to accidently fall foul of the rule.

Simply put at the point the ball is passed to a player, he is offside if he was in the opposition half at the moment of the pass AND the pass is made by a team mate AND the pass is forward AND there are less than 2 opposing players between him and the goal line. Otherise the player is onside.

I've reviewed my original post PeckhamRose, and as the good Muckster and DJKQueen are out there as we speak risking thighs, sinews and underpinnings I suggest we allow the distaff side of the operation to call the mysterious game 'footie', in tribute and salute to the fairer sex.


But if a chap, fellow or even a bloke of any description tries it on, they should be shunned, cut by the county and become a hissing and a byword.


On this matter I stand resolute.

Matthew, you would never make a special needs teacher...that is too complex for a pea brain!

LadyMuck, there's a load of sexist laddish potential authors who will want to just mess with you on the matter of 'offside'.

I reckon you shouldn't trouble your pretty little head with such matters, honestly it's too complicated.

Even some men can't understand it, fertheloveaMike.

Until his death George Best thought you could get away with it by giving the referee a 'wink, click and guns' as you passed him.

Actually might well have worked for him in some situations.


So, pet, settle down and diven't pay the matter na mind.


Howay.

Nope...confused at first para:



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



This is just not clear to me...arrrrggghhh the frustration....


This is genuinely driving me mad - especially when playing...


Is there no-one out there who can explain this in a way that I could understand it?

Normally those two would include the goalkeeper. So if you are at least level but not in front of the last defender in an imaginary line across the pitch you are onside when the ball is played by one of your teammates.


Have you thought of being a goalie?

OK HAL9000 I've just "studied" your second link...it's a bit more helpful...but will need to "study" it properly - later. But I thank you for taking this seriously...talking of which...

Now you have really overstepped the mark with that comment!

*looks aghast at the Muckatollah's seemingly irrational outburst, but resists the urge to opine 'Chicks, eh'? Wanders away deep in puzzlement at LM's vexation at what he thought was a helpful and supportive post.

Walks away limping, but resolves not to attend to his groin area until in the privacy of his own spare room where the self-massage necessary will not excite comment*

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
