Whos guttsy enough to explain the offside rule? ^_^
...maybe we should teach her how to kick a ball first...veridis said:ok the offside rule. when the ref gets lazy and stops paying attention for a few second upon resuming focus on the game he will often stop play. as this stop would usualy be inexpicable so to avoid embarassment he invokes the offside rule. this allows the ref to give the defending team a freekick whenever he so desires as nobody realy gets what the proper rules for it are meant to be. even if somebody did take time to figure it out the offside rule FIFA decides to change interpretations of it every 2nd year so they're screwed anyway.
if -you are standing closer to the opponants goal line than 10 or more of the opponantsand the ball(ie only 1 or 0 opponants closer than you)
-the ball is propelled forwards by a teammate
and
-you influence play(as in recieve the pass or are close enough to have distracted the keeper or a defender) then the opposing team gets a free kick.
also its worthwhile noting that it only matters where you are when the ball is kicked, in line with the last defender is onside until there's daylight between you(ie you cant be offside if only your arm is, whole body must be offside), cant be offside from a throw as stated, but you can be offside off a deflection even if your teammate didnt mean it
firstly, its ref and not rep, and secondly....he was joking about the refs not paying attention during games....though judging by some of the ridiculous decisions they make, it certainly does seem like they lose concentration sometimes.beccaxx said:yes please.
i didnt read that whole offside thing but thought the first part of it was funny with the rep not payin attention..... even the rep cant b bothered watching, i am gonna love this game so so much
