Offside or not offside?

[jertzee]

Blues are attacking and blue midfielder plays the ball over the top to his tall centre forward, who is in an onside position.

The Blues small centre forward is 5 yards away (to the side) from the onside, tall centre forward but the small CF is in an OFFSIDE position.

The tall centre forward controls the ball and runs towards the goal, with just the keeper to beat. As he does so, the small CF gets back into an onside position behind the tall CF.

The tall CF draws the keeper out, passes the ball forward to the still onside small CF who scores.

Assistant Ref (Club Linesman) flags for offside against the small CF for the original offside (when the ball was played by the other CF).

I allow the goal.

Was I correct?

the CAR is at least 10 years behind developments to the offside law ( when was romario's famous baby rocking celebration in the World Cup?)

Correct! Goalaso! In the first phase of play the offside isnt an offence as he isnt active, then when big passes to little cf, its a new phase of play so he is onside overall so yes, GOALLLLLLL!
