Did you know that you can't be offside from a GK?

[sam86]

Be honest. How many out there knew of this rule?

 

[Acker79]

It was brought up on here late last season. So, yes. Can't be offside from corners or throw ins either.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Yep.

Did my refs course a few years ago.

 

[Easy 10]

I didn't know. Which is why I was going SPARE at the first German goal.

Nobody corrected me though.

 

[mikeyjh]

If you didn't, did you never wonder why players stood in offside positions from gaol kicks?

 

[brakespear]

Yes, looked it up because I was wondering why players stood in apparently offside positions from goal kicks

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Yep. Did you know that you can score direct from the kick-off ?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Yep. Did you know that you can score direct from the kick-off ?

Or course, as long as the ball moves more than it's circumference it's fine.

 

[Marshy]

Yes i knew the rule ad have used it on many occasions on a saturday afternoon, you would be amazed at how many defenders push up to the half way line on a place kick and think im off side when im 15 yards further up the pitch.

Im truly shocked so many people didnt know it

Did you know if you take a goal kick and no one touches it and it bounces all the way through into your opponent's goal they get a goal kick? If a penalty hits the bar/post and bounces back to the other end of the pitch and goes in the goal, it's a corner.

Did you know that if a throw in hits a both corner flags then goes in at the other end, the match is abandoned, the referee is knighted and the linesman inducted in the football hall of fame?

Don't believe these..

 

[Easy 10]

This "can't be offside from a goal kick" law then, is it something thats been introduced in the last few years, or has it always been the case ?

[The Large One]

The 'not offside from a goal kick' rule was brought in by the Football Association in '66.









































































1866.

... although the rule was initially written in under the 'Cambridge Rules' of Foot Ball in 1848; the FA adopted them in 1866.

 

[Albumen]

If you take a penalty and it rebounds off the post back to you to put it in the net it's disallowed.

 

[The Wizard]

Err no.
