Offside

[charlie hawker]

i have my 1st game coming up and im not completely sure on offsides what set pieces can you be offside from???

 

[SM]

Let's flip this around. You tell us which set pieces do you think you can be offside from?

 

[Charlie Jones]

who cares? one of the players will tell you that you're wrong !

but yes, in all seriousness ... you tell us the answer

 

[haywain]

just remember that you can't be offside directly from a goal-kick, whichever end of the pitch it is taken from and whichever team the player plays for, and you could go far

Lol wanted Charlie to access the LOTG and find this out for himself haywain before helping him out.

Who was it who wanted to encourage reading of the magic book again?

 

[charlie hawker]

I know you cant be offside from throw-in, goalkick and i odnt think direct from a corner im just not sure about free-kick

Page 35 of the current version of LOTG

You cannot be offside from a corner. However, you do have to be alert for the corner being taken quickly and then passed straight back to the taker. He can be offside if the defence thinks quickly and moves out.

Freekicks you can be offside from.
