Goal or offside?

[ladbroke8745]

I gave offside myself, but with the interpretation of the offside law, did I get it wrong?

The shot came from a blocked shot which meant that an attacker was on the goal line. The shot went directly at the attacker who was facing the ball/field. He slightly ducked his head but also appeared to "flick" it in but didn't touch it.
The keeper was, in my opinion, unable to get to the ball because of this attacker and if he had attempted a full dive rather than a half hearted one, had either have saved it (I am sure off) if attacker not there or clattered the attacker as he was there which likely would have led to arguments for a penalty.

Drew a basic diagram below to highlight where attacker was and keeper.

Would you have given a goal or offside.

Was in a mens Sunday morning cup game.

If you felt the attacker impacted the defenders opportunity to play the ball or challenged for it then offside


Bearing in mind in your picture the goals are not legal, so, match abandoned (if it started) and half match fee and go home

Wish it were those goals. But was, unfortunately, a Google image goal.

The first part of my take on it stands (for me)

But yes, I felt he did impact on the keepers ability to get the ball whilst also clearly making an attempt to play it on the line.

Although you had just cause to give offside, I'd have been more worried about the player's emaciation

And, if Simon Hooper can chalk a goal off in the epl for nobody who was in the keepers eyeline not touching a ball

So can you

Good spot. I'd still play though... spirit of game. Akin to no corner flags. The lotg want you to still play the game..
The colour of the posts is not a safety issue.

Also I'd be having full fee owing to the home team being at fault..

Indeed

I am old enough to recall my association wishing to record on the team sheets....the goals Were not white!!

You’ve a lot to thank us Sheffielders for, including, the first Laws, crossbars, throw ins, executive boxes, golden goals, floodlights, to name a few!
