So if that is true hypothetically if a goalkeeper kicks the ball and it stops on the penalty spot and a forward who was offside in the opposition half runs to the ball and touches it (all other players having not moved) then a free kick would be awarded on the penalty spot?The free kick is now taken from where the offender plays the ball rather than his starting position when the ball is played to him. So it’s actually possible to take a free kick for offside inside your opponent’s half if the player has come back to collect the ball.
So where does it get taken when a player comes back into his own half from an offside position? just kidding.:)When the offside offence occurs, the referee stops play, and awards an indirect free kick to the defending team from the place where the offending player became involved in active play.
I think but may be wrong that Jackson touched the ball and therefore became active around the centre circle which is where Dias was trying to take the free kick.
EDIT: Just seen again and this is where he actually touches it and where the free kick should have been taken

Very interesting post for someone that just joined the forum last Tuesday.Taylor was fine. As was the ref at the CS last week.
The odd little thing here and there wrong for both refs, but that’s it.
When we start throwing lines around like ‘two leg breaking challenges’ (for two fairly nothing incidents that were just free kicks and nobody batted an eyelid at last week even from our own team), and ‘as poor a performance as i have seen’ (what in the whole of your football watching history, yesterday was as poor a referee’s performance as you’ve ever seen?!)… that’s where we get laughed at, and when we do really have a poor ref’s performance nobody pays any attention to us because we’ve cried wolf so often.
Let’s be sensible in these threads, eh. We’ve all got to be connected to these comments you all make because we’re seen as a set of fans as one entity.
I very much doubt they are…You must be new here......
To claim that the foul on Kev was something or nothing and not worthy of a card is bollocks.Very interesting post for someone that just joined the forum last Tuesday.
Yeah, I remember shouting the fuck when Aguero was caught offside and they had the free kick a yard inside our half. The idea of not being offside in yer own half becomes a little outdated, particularly when yer have a couple of teams who would launch the indirect free into our area (no names, no pack drill, but a red shirt is a common factor.The free kick is now taken from where the offender plays the ball rather than his starting position when the ball is played to him. So it’s actually possible to take a free kick for offside inside your opponent’s half if the player has come back to collect the ball.
It's where the player plays the ball or interferes with an opponent.Was that the long-delayed offside? I thought it was strange the restart was in the middle of the half rather than on the half-way line. Was I wrong?

It is an odd position, indeed.To claim that the foul on Kev was something or nothing and not worthy of a card is bollocks.
Some sense.Taylor was fine. As was the ref at the CS last week.

Was he being held though so he was trying to play the ball while falling over?Definitely a foul by Haaland. The initial swipe is probably ok but he scrapes his stoods down Colwill's knee afterwards and that's enough for the foul.
If you think the challenge on Kev was a fairly nothing incident then I’d love to hear your threshold for what a bad tackle is.Some sense.
You still can't be offside if in your own half when the ball is played.Yeah, I remember shouting the fuck when Aguero was caught offside and they had the free kick a yard inside our half.

Every club and its fans will say things like this about every single game through the entire season in all 4 leagues.If you think the challenge on Kev was a fairly nothing incident then I’d love to hear your threshold for what a bad tackle is.
In theory!So, I thought this was unlikely, but then again...
The most likely scenario I can think of is a goal kick, where the attacking team do that thing where they all stand close together near the half way line. The kick is taken, and one attacker breaks early, but realises the ball isn't going to reach him, so stops, expecting to rejoin play when the attack progresses.
A defender makes fantastic contact with a header, and it powers all the way back to the keeper. The keeper runs to the ball to immediately hit it back, so most players stay in the cluster. He kicks, but it's a muddy day and he slips and falls to the floor, with the ball just rolling towards the penalty spot. He's not injured, so the ref doesn't stop play, but he's a bit slow getting back up, as he's disoriented by the surprise fall.
Most players were backtracking slightly, expecting a long kick, but the player who was in an offside position started running back when the ball was headed. He's was still just off when the keeper kicked, but is now the only player moving forward at pace in the right direction, and when he sees the keeper slip, he continues his run and is the first to reach the ball.
An indirect free kick could then be awarded on the penalty spot for offside.
First, at least have the integrity to tag me in if you are going to criticise something I have done.Every club and its fans will say things like this about every single game through the entire season in all 4 leagues.
People think these refs are robots who see absolutely everything. Human beings are in charge and they call things as they see it in real time. Sometimes they get them wrong. Most of the time they get them right.
The over the top scrutiny of them though makes discussions about it futile. Then you get people like Sebastian blue almost calling out the M23 poster because his post isn’t being all out slagging off of the ref yesterday.
It’s just opinions.

Were you a new user at one point?First, at least have the integrity to tag me in if you are going to criticise something I have done.
And I wasn’t calling out @M23 Citizen for not criticising the referees, that is nonsense. I have simply highlighted their very strong opinion about how blues post on Bluemoon (not merely their opinions; they actually referred to us supposedly being “laughed at” for opinions about the referees) being a very strange take from an apparently brand new user.
Only saw our game this weekend mate but that was a joke decision for sure. Noticed big erl mentioned persistent fouling and holding at corners last night too@Pingu the Penguin hopefully you saw the new directive being implemented today, grab Haaland, hold him push him and then throw him to the floor. Chelsea got the free kick. That is the new directive isn't it ?
Isn't it ! Nobody told Taylor then.
