merrymac Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 From Section S main stand (which was reasonably in line) he did look offside. I immediately looked at the lino which is a bit of a giveaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flem Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Looks onside to me if you compare the distance from the 6 yard box. Halkett is heading back towards Mulraney. Edited September 1, 2019 by flem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulraney offside and washington heading towards goal IMO.

MarkDevriesScores4 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Ref called it offside so there’s little discussion necessary. A mild distraction from the fact that we couldn’t finish off the “poorest” team in the division.

Shaggy2 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I wondered at the game whether the offside was against Washington because Mulraney looked to be behind the ball when it was headed. Pic is inconclusive as to Mulraney’s position at time of header but assuming he’s moving forward all the time, I’m still convinced he must have been behind the ball and onside. Hamilton certainly thought they’d won a watch with the call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Z Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Heading the ball backwards doesn't matter. At all. Mulraney does look, from that photo, to have been farther away from the goal line than the ball was at the time Washington headed it, which would make him onside.

You can only be offside from a forward pass. Not that he did head backwards on this occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me: the direction the ball moves has absolutely nothing to do with whether an attacker is offside. Here's law 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's genuinely shocked me because I've always thought you can't be offside from a cutback. And I've played football for years and genuinely haven't seen it given. But according to this, I think it's a case that a lot of referees also, incorrectly obviously, think that's the case too; https://www.dutchreferee.com/why-ball-direction-is-irrelevant-offside-case-study/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Z Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I mean, it's logical enough to think it, because how often will you play a backward ball to a player who's in front of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Z Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Here's a ball that's not played forward (nor backward--it's just stopped) and offside is correctly given, as an example of what it might look like. Rare but even I have flagged a timewasting short corner for offside for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babywhalo Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I was sitting pretty much exactly in line with it in section A and it was definitely offside (appreciate that the photo above makes it look close, however) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your teammate playing it backwards is irrelevant, you would be returning from an offside position. **not that that happened in this case anyway** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
