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!

Okay...thanks...I think the lightbulb on top of my head just briefly flickered!

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

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
