Ah!! Damn me!! Thank you BB!! You live and learn don't you? I guess I should have learned that about 40 years ago. But I never did... I wonder what the logic is behind that ? If the law basically says 'if you receive the ball from someone on your own side and there ain't at least 2 opposition players between you and the goal when you do, then you're offside. So how does playing it sideways or backwards invalidate that basic rule?Cheers!BobG
The one situation that always gets me is when a player takes a short corner and just taps the ball about a foot, the other player stops the ball and the player taking the corner crosses the ball.Surely the first player is coming from an offside position?

If the ball's not played forward Bob then the receiver is not offside. Code: [Select]
You cannot be offside from a corner
