Offside Rule

[cragbankshrimp]

I might get slated for this but what the hell!!!!!!!!!
Danny Carlton has played for teams such as Morecambe, Carlisle, Bury, Darlo and Grimsby but still doesn't understand that he has to stay his sides side of the last defender when the ball is kicked. He's added pace up front since his return, but this is basic stuff that players in the North Lancs League understand. We can't blame the officials for everything.
Why, when we played against what is probably the tallest team in League 2 to we launch it in the air. Prior to today, the last 3 games we have played it on the floor, through the midfield, and looked impressive. Today you'd have thought we were playing with a grenade and needed to get rid as soon as possible.
Rant over. Off to the fridge for another beer.

danny carlton and spencer are our best front line, premier league strikers go offside on a regular basis, danny carlton makes it look like we might score as does spencer, players that are never offside now and then never score goals.

at least they have pace for the offside rule

Do you think that pacey strikers are victims of of having that ability? Are they so fast that they pull away from the defence so quickly that the linesman thinks they must be offside without actually being offside? Danny is quick and does leave the defence behind in a race and may look well offside but it may have been a perfectly timed run. When a team counter attacks, the linesman are rarely in line and when someone like danny breaks, do they just see the gap, hear the shouts and think he MUST be offside?

Th linesman reacted to Bradford defenders in the second half. As soon as they put their arms up, the liner sheepishly put his flag up. Disgusting and bloody lazy IMO

I don't understand why Danny is offside so much? He must know he is always doing wrong. Sometimes he has a defender either side of him in close proximity and still gets offside. Surely he has them both in the corner of his eyes and knows he is straying??!

perhaps the linesman/woman wont notice
