So what's the rules then?

Rules changed so fk is where offence takes place so when Josh came back from an offside position and attempted to play the ball the offence was in own half.
No big deal1 -

Referee got it spot on.0

there is one overriding rule in football that supercedes every other one, If it's against us we should make it intimidating for the officials.1

If the ref he hadn't noticed the flag straight away, Josh had kept running back and then touched the ball in our penalty box, would he have given a penalty?4

It should be that once you're in your own half, you're not offside.2

The worst decision was the second half ref saying the ball hadn't left the penalty area which looked like to me it had.
The our half offside is a recent new law and the ref was right.0 - Sponsored links:

I must admit I didn't know about this law change. Why the hell do they keep messing around with the laws which have no beneficial impact on the game.
It all just makes it harder for refs who have to handle the frustration of everyone who didn't realise. THast includes KR, LB and JJ who were all doing their nuts at the time!5 -
It's laws not rules.AFKABartram said:Surrounding that free kick taken in our half
Anyone else would have been flagged for that.

Tell the player to grow up.Robbo on the wing said:Ask the ref.

There should be a law like rugby: you have to get yourself back onside before you can get involved in the play again.guinnessaddick said:It should be that once you're in your own half, you're not offside.
In this case getting back into your own half would be good enough to allow you to play on.3 -
The ref was right, it didn't.Hartleypete said:

I really hope you're joking about our manager and first team coaches not understanding the laws of football !redman said:I must admit I didn't know about this law change. Why the hell do they keep messing around with the laws which have no beneficial impact on the game.

Why didn't our players realise there had been a rule change ?
Don't the FA send new rules to the clubs ?
My brother said he saw it happen in a game last week.
Everyone around me said the Referee was useless (other adjectives were used)

It doesn't make it harder in this instance. There were two conflicting rules. The muddle needed to be cleared up.

In David Elleray's own words: “Part of the law book says when players commit an offside offence you give a free-kick where the offence occurred. The other part of the law book says you give a free-kick where the player was when he was in the offside position. So a player can actually move 20 yards from being in an offside position … and it is only the moment he plays the ball that he is penalised. The law tells you to give the free-kick in two different places.
“So, in future, the free-kick will always be given where he commits the offside offence, even if he is in his own half, because you cannot be in an offside position in your own half, but you can go back into your own half to commit an offside offence.”0 -
Great stuff, and one of the reasons I love this forum.0

I thought the ref had given a free kick, not a goal kick, which means the ball does not have to leave the area after the ball has been kicked.seth plum said:The worst decision was the second half ref saying the ball hadn't left the penalty area which looked like to me it had.

This offside ruling was brought in at the start of last season.
Radical suggestion I know, but what if everybody in the football industry read the laws of the game?0 -

Unless they have changed the law a free kick in the area does need to leave the area before another player can touch it.Airman Brown said:

Having read the laws, he was clearly mistaken.0 -
My apologies. This is taken from the FA website.
If, when a free kick is taken by the defending team inside its penalty area, the ball is not kicked directly out of the penalty area the kick is retaken.
My apologies.0
