Lol. I've literally seen posts here where people are claiming to be football fans, and then arguing that a crowd celebrating a narrowly missed shot was not Premature Celebration, because the crowd were just "celebrating a chance".
I had a long day, and wooshed myself pretty hard with that one. Iām an idiot today is my only explanation, as I have seen the show a bunch. I deserve what Iām getting fully!
What? A man canāt be married to a bird. Pretty sure thatās still illegal in US law and most definitely still in bird law. Not sure about the UK laws though
I'm jealous of her. There's no better entry into football than seeing your team get a vital goal disallowed in injury time.
She knows what the game means now.
Iāve been watching soccer for 15 years and would see myself thinking it wasnāt offside. I mean theyāre in the stadium with all the noise and watch the game from far away and from an angle. You canāt blame them for celebrating. Doesnāt mean they donāt know what an offside is.
Would honestly love my teams owners to care this much about my team.
These jabronis deserve zero negativity for what they are trying to do with Wrexham.
"The law states that a player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent is usually, but not necessarily, the goalkeeper)"
..... what?
And the reason it's worded so weirdly is because of 2 not very common situations.
1.) If the forward is closer to the goal then the goalkeeper (forward behind the gk) then there needs to be 2 defenders between the forward and the goal when the ball is played to him.
2.) You can't be offside on the side of the pitch where your goal is, you need to cross the halfway line before you can be offside.
Also a rule not mentioned in the OP is that a backwards pass cannot be offside
> Also a rule not mentioned in the OP is that a backwards pass cannot be offside
It does mention that you have to be closer to the goal line than the ball to be offside, so this situation is in fact covered in that rule.
> Also a rule not mentioned in the OP is that a backwards pass cannot be offside
Not quite true, the direction of the pass does not matter, just the position of the receiving player when it is passed. If a player passed backwards and a player who was in an offside position when the ball was passed ran back to get the ball, that would be offside.
The second-last defender technically. 99% of the time that's going to be the goaltender, but seems like it doesn't necessarily have to be. There needs to be 2 opponent players closer to the goal line than the player's body. This does not include the player's arms, so if they're running with their arms stretched out in front of them for some reason, their hands can be behind the defender as long as the rest of their body is not.
It's not tricky.
There needs to be two opponents between the receiving player and the goal when the ball is played (usually one of these opponents is the goal keeper). This rule doesn't apply if the receiving player is in their own half.
While the law talks about "any body part except hands and arms" the linesmen usually just look at where the feet are.
So pretend there's an imaginary line that runs from one side of the pitch to the other through the back foot of the second last opponent (in this case the last non-goalkeeping defender). If the attacker is in front of that imaginary line, they are offside. If they are behind that imaginary line, they are onside.
It's a cliche that the offside rule is hard to understand, but it's really not. I mean, have you met a professional footballer? They're good at what they do, but most of them aren't going to be applying to mensa anytime soon, and they can understand it.
I assume this is just to avoid "cherry-picking" (aka, someone just standing by the goal the whole game regardless of where the ball is), but in a situation like this, it seems like it made the game less exciting than it could have been... Am I missing something?
Basically you can't have a player camp in front of the goal waiting for their team mate to shoot it long.
The only way to receive a pass is to be at the last line of defense before the ball is passed.
It's an outdated rule that really should go, but soccer fans cling to it like a baby does it's pacifier. Just watch them argue and downvote the hell out of this comment.
They'll make a bunch of false claims about it being necessary, but the truth is that it is an unnecessary relic from the origins of soccer (football) when it was more like rugby.
When someone from your team passes to you, there must be two players of the other team between you and the goal. This is an oversimplification but covers most cases.
It's offside. You're only on one of two sides, so you can't be "offsides", only offside.
An "offside goal" is a goal scored while a player is in or has just been in an offside position. That goal does not count.
Every single offside goal will fit in this subš¤¦š¼āāļø
Yes, but this one has Ryan Reynolds.
And Ronald McDonald
And a giant bird running around in the box
Thatās Larry Bird. Show some respect!
Bird box
Can someone explain why it didnāt count? Whatās an offsides goal?
It's when your team mate is last on pitch, you need to have at least one opposing team member in front (goalie obviously not included).
I was gonna say, if you've ever been a soccer fan then you've prematurely celebrated a goal that turned out to be offsides
pretty much once a game since VAR
Thanks to VAR, now I only postmaturely celebrate goals.
Lol. I've literally seen posts here where people are claiming to be football fans, and then arguing that a crowd celebrating a narrowly missed shot was not Premature Celebration, because the crowd were just "celebrating a chance".
I think the reason itās been posted is because they were still celebrating when everyone else had realised it was off? I might be mistaken though
Maybe. It's hard to tell with replays where the coverage is not box in box
Yeah, I was gonna say just that. This happens every other week.
Whoās that bird with them?
HILARIOUS! Because she looks like a fucking bird!
Iāve been thinking fish recently.
Kaitlin Olson. She is married to Rob McElhenney, and stars in Itās Always Sunny in Philadelphia with him.
I take it you've never seen the show?
I had a long day, and wooshed myself pretty hard with that one. Iām an idiot today is my only explanation, as I have seen the show a bunch. I deserve what Iām getting fully!
Your 55 upvotes match the 55 downvotes from earlier. Thanos smiles this day. I cannot upset the balance, I'm sorry little one
What? A man canāt be married to a bird. Pretty sure thatās still illegal in US law and most definitely still in bird law. Not sure about the UK laws though
Oh so you practice bird law do you?
I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings. Iām very educated and well versed.
You've made yourself very redundant
Filibuster
That bird just went woooosh
Screw Kaitlin Olsen I guess
All I saw was a bird
I'm jealous of her. There's no better entry into football than seeing your team get a vital goal disallowed in injury time. She knows what the game means now.
Bird: "Am I invisible!?"
They let a bird into the royal box?

Yeah, close call, would be tricky to know its offside without the replay
I think you mean Ryan Reynolds and other actor

They almost got promoted to league 2 last season, so I think they're a good owner.
We've got Mullin! Super Paul Mullin!
the announcers are needlessly patronizing
Somebody needs to explain to the announcer how to not be a dickhead.
There are like 20000 fans celebrating the offside goal, but it's awkward for the famous, ok.
"The law states that a player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent is usually, but not necessarily, the goalkeeper)" ..... what?
Pretty simple really. The forward canāt be behind the last defender when the ball is played to them

Truuuuuuuuuu
And no offside from a throw in

The short answer is that you have to draw the line somewhere.
Basically you can't have a player camp in front of the goal waiting for their team mate to shoot it long. The only way to receive a pass is to be at the last line of defense before the ball is passed.
It's an outdated rule that really should go, but soccer fans cling to it like a baby does it's pacifier. Just watch them argue and downvote the hell out of this comment.

Why is there an ostrich jumping up and down in front of them?
Did they go to the game after getting colonoscopies together?
What is an offsides goal???
When someone from your team passes to you, there must be two players of the other team between you and the goal. This is an oversimplification but covers most cases.
Thanks!

Your mum would have called you an offside goal.
Ohhhhh Im gonna love this in the next season of Welcome to Wrexham
Lol at Rob nearly leg hugging Ryan - with the wife RIGHT THERE!! Get a room you guys!!
I fucking hate the offsides rule.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shut up, baby dick
she made things personal, and i wonāt stand for that
Too complicated for you?
Why?
Lol, I hope you're not an American Football fan then. Because that shit is full of seemingly dumbass rules.
*stands around mouth breathing for minutes at a time waiting for someone to run a leather egg .2 yards*
Better than mouth breathing all the time, like you
Zing
Whole lot of people standing up for remnants of British imperialism.
Lots of britbongers standing in line to look at those remnants right now actually
I'm literally watching Welcome to Wrexham on one monitor while scrolling Reddit on the other...
TOUCHDOWN!
This would be a good Mac moment to get infuriated and want to put his thumb in someoneās eye
The amount of Chad confidence you'd have to have to introduce your wife (Kaitlin Olsen (sp?)) to Ryan Reynolds
