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 :)

Much appreciated DJKQ.

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 can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
