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.

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?

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*

      Council "weed" removal

      By Sue · Posted

      Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.

      They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.

      I see what you mean.  Perhaps the "alcohol licensing flyer for Tesco Express on the Poundland site" confirmed by the OP has been removed then.
