Thoughts on this? Would’ve been onside every day of the week last season but the IFAB clarifications in July obviously changed all that. Still would go onside personally.

Deliberate play for me. On side.

 

[OnlyUseMeWhistle]

Can't remember who it was but someone on here tried to justify this being classed as offside for an identical situation in a PL game (Utd Liv I think) based on the IFAB circular. It's so onside lol

Couldn't be much more of a deliberate touch, clearly trying to head it back to the keeper. No doubt for me at all.

Not even a debate. Even at grassroots surely everyone would expect this be a goal?

 

[RefJef]

The goal is good (the law is rubbish*)

*imho. Perhaps OK for pros to be mindful of this, but Dave, playing for the Dog and Duck isn’t. If you are unlucky enough to have this happen to you on a Sunday morning, your world is going to turn to rat s v. quickly

Probably about what he intended, just didn't realise the attacker was behind him.

Love the crowd noise

100% a goal. He is clearly trying to head it back to the keeper without realising there is an attacker behind him. He has lots of time, he isn't being challenged, he isn't stretching, just has to be classed as a deliberate play.
