Doesnt matter what direction the ball is played.he comes from an offside position so therefore offside

Yes it does, if the ball doesn't go forward it doesn't matter where he is

 

[Mackania]

Ball clearly goes backwards.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Could see in real time how far off that was

 

[Helanders Beard]

Morelos was onside last week, Arfield gets a touch before it goes to Morelos so he’s on again by that point

 

[Oliversarmy11]

Ball passed back the way, can’t be offside.

Wrong

 

[Helanders Beard]

Ball clearly goes backwards.

Doesn’t matter if he’s ahead of the ball

 

[remembertheepoch]

I’m surprised they never mentioned Morelos’ goal last week being offside.

because it wasnt. if you read the rules the ball was played behind him when he was beyond the keeper, therefor not offside staggering how many dont know that.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Yes it does, if the ball doesn't go forward it doesn't matter where he is

The rule is in post #26 mate. The ball doesn’t need to go forwards. Be interesting to see what the numpties in SportScene say. No chance they will know the rules.

Morelos was onside last week, Arfield gets a touch before it goes to Morelos so he’s on again by that point

Its the touch by arfield that i think makes him off. If the original ball had gone straight to morelos i think he was on.by time arfield had touched it he had moved offside

 

[donka]

Matondo was put through and it was wrongly flagged for offside. Would have great to see him through one on one.

 

[jdm1873]

He's onside, the ball didn't go forward. Some people need to learn the offside rule

Like yourself mate. Doesn't matter he was offside.

 

[Helanders Beard]

Colak today - Offside

Morelos last week - Onside

Simple.

 

[punksnotdead]

Ball doesn’t go forward from Matondo in my view.

Watched the replay and said to my boy he was offside, they showed a slightly different angle and the ball definitely goes slightly back the way, certainly not forward. I thought the ball had to go forward for someone to be offside.

 

[Helanders Beard]

Its the touch by arfield that i think makes him off. If the original ball had gone straight to morelos i think he was on.by time arfield had touched it he had moved offside

I thought it was the complete opposite, I thought he was off when Matondo passed it.

 

[Alex_Bear]

Commentator seemed a tad too complimentary for the BBC, especially compared to the wee rat Liam that sounds like you've just volleyed his maw on the dish when we score.

Its where the player is situated when the ball was played, not the direction of travel.

 

[Oliversarmy11]

Can you not read where I said it was one angle, from their main camera high in the stand, if I saw an angle down in line with the penalty box then it may have been clearer to me but from the angle shown it wasn’t clear whether he was offside or not.

Yea i can clearly read very well thank you. Im simply stating it was 100% offside.no need to get lippy about it

 

[Helanders Beard]

Even when the ball going backwards was a thing, the player being ahead of the ball made them offside anyway so he’s still offside

 

[Oliversarmy11]

because it wasnt. if you read the rules the ball was played behind him when he was beyond the keeper, therefor not offside staggering how many dont know that.

Maybe u should read the rules.well an up to date version of them anyway.go back and read post 26

 

[Oliversarmy11]

Its a bit alarming how many of our own fans dont seem to know the offside laws. Direction of the ball means hee haw

Not just alarming but scary at the fact that want to argue about it.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

James McFadden was on Dundee Utd Thursday,Dundee last night, sportscene tonight and doubtless Celtic tomorrow.

 

[Baloo72]

There was one angle that looked quite clear. Wee Tam never cracked a light on RTV though

Was not offside
The ball did not go forward from the pass

 

[Stupots]

Stewart is disappointed we have such strength in depth now. Somehow managed to turn it in to a negative because we should be bringing younger players through.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Michael Stewart saying we’ve bought too many good players

 

[jdm1873]

Was not offside

Doesn't have to go forward. He's offside.

 

[Alex_Bear]

BBC have shat it. Didn't mention it. They know better.. for this week at least.

Yet King got some game time and Lowry once fully fit will be on the bench.

He is gutted he has to talk about us, he is a sad bitter individual

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Jeez. Read the thread - or even just read post #26. Direction of travel doesn’t matter, he was offside.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Guys on here getting more worked up about what constitutes offside than the Sportscene pundits

 

[Tav Pen]

I’m refreshing this thread to see if the next person says he’s onside based on the ball being played backwards.

 

[jdm1873]

BBC have shat it. Didn't mention it. They know better.. for this week at least.

We complained to the BBC last Sunday.

 

[Biniaro11]

Am I the only person who doesn’t fully understand the offside rules nowadays anyway.
Second phase of play, what is that all about.

 

[Alex_Bear]

We complained to the BBC last Sunday.

Clearly has had an influence as they'd usually take any opportunity to spew over us.

Its just not fair is it…Imagine having the audacity to buy players to make your team better!

 

[insanicdrunk]

Michael Stewart mentioned it, said he was offside but it was hard for the linesman the way it happened. Never made a big deal about it.

 

[Gazza's one last run]

Not saying Lawrence isn't a good player but play a youth please
Terrified at how good we might just be.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

His basic argument seemed to be “won’t someone think of the the children!” - were denying youngsters a chance

 

[Valleyloyal]

Ball clearly goes backwards.

End of debate.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Ball passed back the way, can’t be offside.

Yes you can.

This is a bit like folk saying last man = professional foul.

People who know the rules try to explain it by saying something a little bit lazily and then people who don't know the rules misinterpret it.

The rule is the player can't be offside if he is behind or level with the ball. Usually that means if the ball gets cut back you'll be onside. But this is the time where the wording matters (or at least could have). The ball goes backwards to Colak but he was still in front of it when it was played, so is offside.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

That number 9 for Aberdeen seems to be handy doesn’t he

 

[insanicdrunk]

It was a strange comment. Agreed we have good players in the youths, but you dont get the same as you will from a 28 year old player.

 

[Baloo72]

Jeez. Read the thread - or even just read post #26. Direction of travel doesn’t matter, he was offside.

Naw
I was responding to a guy i had been talking to so did not.

So sorry to offend ffs have a juice

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

that crater eczema riddled faced Hayes still at the Sheep!

Think I must have switched off when he was speaking . I do that quite often

 

[MilngavieLoyal]

Staggering you’re claiming to know the rules without knowing them pal.

 

[Gazza's one last run]

Especially a new player like Lawrence, don't want him playing 90 mins in between CL matches but still want him integrating as quickly as possible, getting goals etc. Stewart is plain terrified.

 

[TheDerryend]

Doesnt matter what direction the ball is played.he comes from an offside position so therefore offside

Who gives a f**k. It's a goal, end of story.
