Scotland's goal was off side!

Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:10 pm

When the ball was kicked by the Scottish keeper Mc Greggor Steven Fletcher was standing in an off side position. Our defence dropped back Fletcher won the header and the rest is history.

Thank God for Saint Gareth Bale.

You can't be offside from a goal kick.

You can't be offside if:
you receive the ball directly from a goal kick, a throw-in or a corner
you are in your own half of the pitch
you are level with the second last or last two opponents

To be honest I didn't know that for years either. If the keeper has the ball in his hands and kicks, it's offside because the ball being in the keepers hands means the ball is in play, so it's no different to a long ball forwards from a defender or a through ball from a midfielder. A goal kick is different however as it is a dead ball. I guess the attacking team can't gain an advantage from their own goal kick as the ball can't get kicked far enough up the pitch to give the team an attacking advantage, so it's always been decided you can't get offside from it.

......another unknown rule is

if the Scottish centre forward (who has no teeth) handles the ball in the oppositions penalty area, it is a penalty to Scotland ! :old: :D

But you can be offside from a free kick? I havn't heard of this. Knew you can't be offside if the ball is played backwards or from a throw.
