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 The idea of not being offside in yer own half becomes a little outdated, particularly when yer have a couple of teams who would launch the indirect free into our area (no names, no pack drill, but a red shirt is a common factor.The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.
