what is the offside rule???????

Question

i am angry when there is always an offside given what on earth is it

Answer 1

Imagine this scenario:

You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till.

Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, whilst it is in flight, you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes.

Always remembering that until the purse had actually been thrown it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.


Does that help?

Answer 2

A player is in an offside position if:
he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.
A player is not in an offside position if:
he is in his own half of the field of play,
he is level with the second last opponent,
he is level with the last two opponents
But not on a corner kick, goal kick, or throw in.
Helpful? Obviously a girl question.

Answer 3

According to the soccer law, it is not an offence in itself. A player is in an offside position if he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.

However, There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from: a goal kick, a throw-in, or a corner kick.

Answer 4

It is a rule that stops players from goal-poaching...
Basically,an attacking player cannot receive a pass while he is behind the last defender.
A player is NOT offside if:
He is not interfering with play

If the ball is passed backwards (away from the goal he is scoring into) to him

If he runs into the offside position AFTER the ball is kicked to him

It is a very complicated rule but I hope this clears it up for you...

Answer 6

Team A is playing Team B, and Team A is attacking.

When the ball is leaving the foot of a player from Team A and another player(s) from Team A either run(s) up or is/are already stationed at a point ahead of the last Team B player (defender), he is offside.

The foremost Team A player must always be at a position where the last Team B player is between himself and the goal BEFORE the ball leaves the foot of his fellow team mate.

Answer 7

A player in soccer is offiside if he as a member of the attacking team is positioned behind the last player back on the defenfing team, when the ball is kicked. A key point is when the ball is kicked, as often times a player will run past the defender once the ball is kicked, but thus be onside.

Answer 8

When one team has the ball and they and play the ball through to a team mate. Who is behind the opponents defence.

Answer 9

Oh my god.....

You're being a real girl now....

The off side rule is when the forward is infront of the last defender when the ball is kicked.
