law was altered in the summer. an free kick is given against a player who was in an offside position at the point he becomes active that is when he runs back to make a challenge which can happen anywhere on the pitch or field of play as they call it. confused, try and implement it on a sunday morning. ref. probebly right in what he did last night although obviously i wasn,t there to see it.[/QUOTE]
It often occurs to me MH that it is better not to be there to witness an event, but rather to rely on either the account of someone who was there to observe it, or better still picture it in the mind's eye.
I usually rely on the latter option which allows me to embroider a situation to it's extreme and create images which please me no end !.
Whilst thanking accybeme for painting a brief cameo from last night's game, which gave me some insight into the sort of encounter taking place at The Wham/Crown last evening, I am indebted to you also for your succinct explanation of the particular law relating to the incident,
which I will take to heart and in it's knowledge enjoy my soccer viewing more comprehensively from now on.
It's got nowt to do with the Boo Boys though .....is there an FA Law which regulates this ?.
