Offside from a goal kick


beararse

Recommended Posts

Watching Match of The Day last night and Danny Murphy said ‘I don’t know what the centre half was doing as you can’t be offside from a goal kick’ and I thought I’d misheard.

Turns our it’s true.

I’ve played and watched football for best part 40 years and never knew or heard that one before.

being offside when you're behind the keeper, even if you play the ball backwards is one that always stuck in my throat. pretty pointless

Yep.

Thought I knew the offside rule inside out but I’ve never heard a coach explain or try and take advantage of the goal kick rule and it has never been mentioned on the TV before. Not that I’ve seen anyway.

im positive, and I played football myself to a pretty high standard, that I have seen many times a player being offside when coming back from an " offside position" when challenging for a high ball, when a goal kick has taken place, maybe im wrong but I don't think so

When the keeper comes out and the defender is behind him rule confuses me for offside. Other than that I think I know the rules :lol: 

knew this rule though, remember the 6-2 game at their place, remember thinking Sutton was behind the goalie and in an offside position, again my memory may be playing tricks
