Question for all you

[Guest Kev]

If a player is constantly getting caught offside, is he not persistently infringing the laws of the game and therefore warrants a yellow card ?

[Spion kop]

no player deliberately decides to be offside.

Yes, but only if that player is the Horse- hee-haw!

[Guest Kev]

no player deliberately decides to be offside.

 

Being deliberate or not doesn't make a difference. The laws say Persistently Infringing and not Deliberatly Persistently Infringing.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

no. Can't get booked for a foul which results in an indirect FK

Deliberate Obstruction ?

Dangerous Play ?

do people get booked for those?

Ofcourse they can.

 

Indirect free kick

 

An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following five offences:

 

takes more than six seconds while controlling the ball with his hands before releasing it from his possession

touches the ball again with his hands after it has been released from his possession and has not touched any other player

touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately been kicked to him by a team-mate

touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate

 

An indirect free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player, in the opinion of the referee:

 

plays in a dangerous manner - CAUTIONABLE OFFENCE

impedes the progress of an opponent - CAUTIONABLE OFFENCE

prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands

commits any other offence, not previously mentioned in Law 12, for which play is stopped to caution or dismiss a player

[_00_deathscar]

no player deliberately decides to be offside.

 

Cisse and Inzaghi both try pretty hard though

 

Imagine them two on one team starting up front.

[chrisbonnie]

as for the obstruction rule there

 

am i the only person that thinks when a defender blatantly does it to let the ball roll out in the corner for goal kick its pure obstruction? because if it was in the middle of the park it`d a be a free, so why not down at the corner flag

[floyd]

Inzaghi

He doesn't try. He's the most Natural Born Offsider, I've ever seen.

What about players who shield the ball out of play to get a goal-kick? Sometimes it's clearly acceptable but others they're doing it from somewhere near the half-way line (slight exageration but you know what I mean). Surely this is ungentlemanly conduct and should be treated as such? As should bringing on a sub when you're one goal up and hanging on to waste a bit of time.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

on that, the rules state the ball has to be w/i playing distance. It often isn't and in those cases should be penalized

[Guest Aussie_Red]

Ofcourse they can.

They've been booking goalkeepers for time wasting, so under these rules shouldn't the opponent recieve an indirect free kick as opposed to the goalie 'getting on with it'.

The keepers have been booked when they are taking a goal kick, ie the ball is dead, so a free-kick to the opposition is impossible.
