[Football] Offside

[Saunders]

Unless somethings changed recently, no you can’t.

Can't remember the game, but we actually had a free kick given against us in our own half for offside quite recently at the Amex.

I think this was down to blind, rank steaming incompetence on behalf of the officials though, as opposed to an actual rulechange.

Er yes you can. As discussed previously on here for a recent home game. If the player runs from an offside position back into his own half towards the ball he is deemed "active" and is given offside in his own half. You couldnt make it up it is so stupid. It changed under the new active ruling to the law.

Sorry, but I don’t follow your point at all. You’re completely incorrect. Absolutely you can be coming back from an offside position, and be flagged when becoming active by making a challenge on an opposing player’s

My assumption was that the word tackle meant that the opponent has the ball and assuming that, once the opponent has the ball, the phase is deemed as over and a new phase started.
