I am still learning football rules

[oaklandrdblade]

Worst foul throw this season was at home (can't remember who against) where their player took a throw on the John St side which bounced before it crossed the line, the linesman never looked like considering flagging for the offence

Yes I think without Coutts we may have to resort to an element of long ball - maybe we could use Hanson over the busy period

DON'T SAY THAT. THE FORUM USERS DON'T LIKE THOSE WORDS BEING MENTIONED

You also can’t score from a goal kick either...

Been the rule ever since I grew up so at least 30 odd years!

Yes you can score a goal from a goal kick but cannot score an own goal from a goal kick

I noticed yesterday that Clayton Donaldson was in an offside position a few times when Moore was taking goal kicks and was surprised that the linesman didnt flag when Clayton challenged for a header. Googled the rules this morning and it states that you cannot be offside from a goal kick. I wasnt aware! Is this a new ruling? A good tactic for us to use.

Am sure the throw in leading up to Villa's penalty was illegal

The offside rule only applies in the opposition half.

The offside rule only applies in the opposition half.

From anywhere on the pitch apart from corners, throw ins and goal kicks

Anybody know what happened to the old Obstruction Rule and when?

Used to play Sunday morning and it's always been the rule that you can't be offside off a goal kick. But I still learnt a few things when I did a lino course for my son's team.

E.g. you can only be offside if a part of your body from which you can legally score a goal is actually offside. Your not offside if your arm is goal side of the last defender but the rest of you isn't.

Apart from when the player receiving the ball is in his own half.

The other strange rule people don't know is you can't score an own goal direct from your own corner kick. Can't ever think when this rule was ever needed, but it is in the rule book.

Billy Dearden used to do it, that's how long it's been a rule

If Maradona and Henry had their arm in an offside position surely the Lino has to put his flag up?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Me too, apparently if you make a good tackle in the box the ref gives a pen.

Well, well, well. Neither was I SB!
Kinell, all them years I spent blowin' out of my arse by the time I got back to the half way line when the defenders ran out....barstads!!

Yes, but that's covered by appendix 1.3a
