Match Thread Dundee v Rangers - 13:30 Sunday - Sky Sports

If I am running in on goal behind the defensive line but ahead of the ball, the winger tries to cross to me but cuts it backwards just behind me and I check my run to collect the ball and finish, I am off side, no?
Nope, you were behind the game line when the ball was played.
 
Game line, not the ball. As a defending team your position is set by the medium of the phase, not the ball (penalty and free kick = 10m behind mark, scrum/ruck/maul = hindmost foot of the defending side)

As for football, look at any video of a player crossing the ball from the by line, or taking a corner; the position of players and defenders is irrelevant.

Because they’re all behind the ball in those circumstances...

Direction of pass irrelevant because it’s position of players in relation to the ball that determines them onside
 
This is a fu*king disgrace.We are huffing and puffing against 10 men who are the bottom of the league here.We seem to be going back the way.
 
If I ever met Walker I'm going to kick him square in the bollocks.
 
We really lack players getting into the box. We work the ball well from midfield to the wings and often get a great cross in. Unfortunately no one is there.

Wrong ball from Tav. Simple ball outside to Grezda was the better pass.
