Refs. As long as the ball comes from behind the head, the ball can be released past the head at any point leading to legal throws downwards?

Everything about that shape says he is looking to hit it. His head, his standing foot, and he draws his leg back .. Ederson is in a position that is directly related to the offside player with the ball. Ederson positions his feet and hands in relation to the offside player.

I didn't base a decision on the screen shot, I used it to emphasise a point. Rashford went beyond moving towards the ball. He is running with the ball and is effectively in possession. He is shielding the ball from the Man City player for his team mate to score.

He is not running towards it. He is effectively in possession of the ball. He is so close to the ball he could do a stop over. Here he has to be effecting his opponent.

The Man City defender cannot run directly towards the ball because Rashford is in front of him and runs across him within a foot of the ball. Rashford has effected his opponent.

So Sharp are you going off or on?

That was how I saw it. Sharp effects the defender by his close proximity - position, movement and the touch is a form of light challenge.

Freeze frame. Not the clearest.

Sharp the offside player challenges (?) the defender?

Sharp is involved in play making the Bristol City centre back (Vyner) head the ball. Offside.

From 3.20 - Sharp the centre forward?

It appears law 12.2 for fouls and misconduct isn't still being enforced, which is why I asked what the information on the crackdown was.

Yes.

What rule would apply here?

Is there a link to information on what refs where going to do? How long can the keeper lie on the evil ball for?

Everything is deliberate play unless its not play?

Local youth leagues (Bristol) covered by two regional FA's are a no.

It is a trial for some U12 leagues and tournaments, but the details? Corners? Thrown ins? The keeper? It would be very interesting to see the specifics of this.

Thanks all. Read links etc. I was interested in the how.
