Narnia Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Now that's a great question LM. It can't have been there from the start.The game is simple without this rule and I imagine that's how it started out.I must read up on the history of the game.

Ladymuck Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 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.

Narnia Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 That depends where you acquired the ball. If you were onside when you got it you can run where ever you like......mucky style.

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!

DJKillaQueen Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 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 :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/12091-the-off-side-rule-in-footie/page/3/#findComment-338479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narnia Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 How are you at parking a car LM? I have a theory that there are some things women weren't meant for. Likewise men of course.

HAL9000 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 This thread does remind me of trying to teach the Mrs how to reverse around a corner - I still have a mental block regarding the three-point turn, though.
