had a game today where I was being observed, all was going well however one point he picked up on was me waving down an offside flag from a CAR. Blue centre back played a long ball forward, striker runs in behind and is about 10 yards off the green centre back who heads it directly up into the air. As it comes down, he takes control, and then the striker runs back and nips it away from him. There was probably about 5 seconds between the header and then the control.
I said to the observer that I thought the attacker didn’t impact his ability to play the ball, and he compared it to the Man City v villa incident and said ‘the law has been changed since then to make this offside.’ I’ve looked since and can’t see where this type of scenario would be covered, could anyone advised if I’ve missed it? It’ll be something I’ll be keeping an eye on when the report comes through i
