philliggi Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 http://p.twimg.com/A0mVE13CEAEO2yQ.jpg:large offside? not offside? obviously the ball hits lewington and bounces into the path of simpson, but is simpson in an offside position when the ball is played? for me its much closer on that pic than what it seemed in real time, but i still think the goal should have stood.

Keepingthe Faith Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Theres a defender on the line in that pic that is clearly playing him on. 2 players needed to play him on. All depends if he is level with the ginger one hard to tell from that angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Theres a defender on the line in that pic that is clearly playing him on. Which two players have played him onside? Edited August 18, 2012 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Theres a defender on the line in that pic that is clearly playing him on. needs 2 players to be playing him on. remember there is usually the keeper as well, but he is clearly 3 or four yards up the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD's Orange Heels Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'd say offside from that picture. The keeper is clearly ahead of Simpson. So that leaves 2nd defender in the picture who looks to be slightly ahead too. It's very close though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozzer Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Looks well off. Lewingtons right foot is practically on the line and given Simmo is about two yards beyond the line he's off - unless Lewingtons some sort of freak - actually scrub that he is.

oafcmad09 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Theres a defender on the line in that pic that is clearly playing him on. Because the goalkeeper isn't in his goal a 2nd defender is needed so basically that defender is acting as the goalkeeper in terms of offside.

2uptop Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 2 players needed to play him on. All depends if he is level with the ginger one hard to tell from that angle ahh of course. I'd forgotten that another defender would count as the 2nd defender with the keeper behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLatics Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Crazy to try to say from that angle. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the guy who is literally paid to be able to see close offsides, and who was in the best position in the entire stadium to see it from was probably right ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Impossible to say from that. Unless it's dead in line you can't see. I think that's why in RL they won't use replays for forward passes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewingtons right foot is practically on the line and given Simmo is about two yards beyond the line he's off - unless Lewingtons some sort of freak - actually scrub that he is. Yea but his left foot is behind Simpson. Does the whole body need to be behind the attacker to play him onside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjonesyyoafc Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I reckon Lewington played him onside, his left foot is ahead of Simpson and you can play the ball with it so ONSIDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 SC would give his right arm for 7,409 in on Saturday. Looks offside to me. 1) There is no way there were 7,409 in that ground yesterday. I'd be surprised if there were 5,500. We should add our nn attending season ticket holders on to our attndeances. Would add upto 500 a game. Huddersfield did it a couple of years ago and at times it added something like 2,000 on to the actual figure. 2) Called the offside straightaway yesterday simply because of the keepers position. The only question is did the ball go sideways or backwards. If it did then the goal should have stood. From behind the goal my initial take was that it went forward. Will be interesting to see the highlights on player later this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Direction of the ball is Irrelevent, only the position of the receiving player in relation to it when kicked. The ball has to move forwards for it to be offside. Or does it? I think the player has to be in front of the ball at the time it's played. Trying to get my head round whether it means the same thing.

Sorry your wrong. The ball has to be played in a forward direction for a player to be offside. If a player stretches or moves back from an offside position to get a ball that is played sideways or backwards then he is deemed to be onside.

HarryBosch Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think Lewington plays him onside having finally got Latics Player to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
