Yes. It is only from goal kicks, corners and throw-ins that you can't be offside.Can you be offside from an indirect free kick i.e. if you receive the ball direct from the indirect free kick?
In terms of remembering, it is the restarts from when the ball left the field that you can’t be OS…. Of course, it is only can’t be OS if you receive the ball directly from the restartYes. It is only from goal kicks, corners and throw-ins that you can't be offside.
For those pundits who don't understand the direct bit, this should be emphasised in the LOTG. Obviously we refs tend to get thatyou receive the ball directly from the restart
I added because some new refs (and many coaches and parents!) get caught on the first pass following a TI or CK still thinking the Os exemption is in place. And the OP question is certainly a question from a new and learning ref.For those pundits who don't understand the direct bit, this should be emphasised in the LOTG.

After a penalty? Everyone would be behind the ball anyway.And a slight trivia question for new refs only—when, after a foul, is it not possible to be OS on the restart?
If I remember correctly, you can still be offside from a penalty, if you stand on the side of the box in front of the ball. Players tend to be smart enough not to do that anyway so you never actually see it.After a penalty? Everyone would be behind the ball anyway.

ooooo, I've looked and that's right - that's quite interesting, I remember on my training course we covered the penalty procedure, and we were told that a player could stand in front of the ball however they would be classed as offside. They've clearly got their laws wrong there!You can't, as all players must be behind the ball. Stated in the LOTG.
I'm trying to work out how the kicker could be in front of the ball and take the kick.All players except the kicker and goalkeeper
Back heel? Which it states in the LOTG IS permitted as long as the ball moves forward.I'm trying to work out how the kicker could be in front of the ball and take the kick.
But in terms of the pitch he would still be behind... just facing the wrong way.Back heel? Which it states in the LOTG IS permitted as long as the ball moves forward.
No, he could have a foot nearer the goal line. Try it at home. It makes sense.But in terms of the pitch he would still be behind... just facing the wrong way.
Sounds like a fun way to spend the evening! I'll ask Mrs Viridis to act as keeper.No, he could have a foot nearer the goal line. Try it at home. It makes sense.
I can't think of anything better to do on my Sunday nights! Anyway, that's my secret out...Sounds like a fun way to spend the evening! I'll ask Mrs Viridis to act as keeper.
