I am more and more stunned by this thread. I was amazed that Brian thought that it was possible to have the IDFK for offside in the players own half and now we have a level 4 ref who believes the same thing! I really thought that the position of the IDFK for offside was one of the things that referees knew but players and spectators constantly got wrong - a bit like the ball having to leave the PA on free kicks as well as goal kicks - but it seems I was wrong.
The law quoted above is very clear...I really don't see how this confusion has arisen...I'm off to have a bit of a lie down...
