Oh...just one more thing...(please?)...


Does the offside rule apply only when making a pass? What I am trying to say here is...if, for example, I acquire the ball and then, George Best/Lionel Messi style, (without passing it on) dribble across a vast expanse of the pitch and shoot, will I fall foul of the off side rule then?


Anyone?


Again, answers to be articulated appropriately for pea brains (or Americans;-)).


Thanks in advance.

It is isn't it?


So it would appear that one reason, at least, for this rule was that certain players ("kick-throughs") positioned themselves permanently near their opponent's goal. So what? I can recall Gary Lineker hanging around the goal area so that he could add even more goals to his already impressive list! (At least that's what it looked like to me - in those days).


As for the rule that a player was "off his side" if he was standing in front of the ball, well I'm jolly glad that someone had the sense to amend it!

I was going to write something but stopped myself before I confused you even more. It was along the lines of sometimes it pays to be off side but I'll leave that for footy practise. Just for you LM I will devise a footy drill to get this accross to you for once and for all :)

Me too...though energy is one thing I seem to have plenty of...much to the dismay of others...kids seem to like it though...

Not at all Narnia, not at all...it's just that - at the moment - I am unable to spare the frozen ones...let's just say they are needed elsewhere...

Yes, Dulwich Dynamites is the winner - named by Mamma Mia! Congratulations MM.


Think name is going to be amended to EDF Dynamites in order to recognise Mark's Forum. But hey...speak to the Queen herself! I could be giving you all the wrong info...:-S

      I was referring more to his performance at PMQs yesterday. It was quite a riot! Almost topped Mastermind

      Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.

      Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.

      Probably by working as a banker for a decade before being an MP, being married to another high earner, and using some of the accommodation allowance that all out-of-town MPs receive. https://www.theipsa.org.uk/news/why-do-mps-need-an-accommodation-budget Tbh mate if someone in her position couldn't work out a mortgage to buy a house in suburban London, they probably shouldn't be Chancellor in the first place...
