6. From which of the following breaks in play can a player be ruled offside?

a. Directly from a throw-in
b. Directly from a corner kick
c. Directly from a goal kick
d. None of the above

I can't believe I never knew that you can't be offside directly from a goal kick. Well, now I know.

I got 6 by the way.

Got the offside flag one wrong, I never knew there were different types of offside!

Thought that if the player was sent off in the tunnel he couldn't be replaced.

Also got the choosing of ends wrong. Thought it was a coin toss. Pretty certain it was for a time, but must have been changed again.

That caught me out too, but apparently it is true. It's at the ref's discretion which end he deems most suitable. One end could be cut up, flooded etc.

In the majority of top flight games there's no difference between the ends which is why you see the refs flip a coin to give 1 captain a choice.

Or so is my understanding.

The ref chooses the end for penalties? I thought it was they had tossed a coin to decide which end and then who has the option of going first?

Edit: Didn't see the posts above me.

Incorrect. This only applies for a goal kick. A direct free kick does not have to leave the penalty area to be in play, unlike a goal kick.

I got just 6 , which means I'll never get to ref a LOI game, I'm over qualified

Law 13.
The ball is inplay when it is kicked outside the penalty area

Am I being stupid or is c not also correct in Q1?

Would have swore that q.9 was an OG not a corner

Coin toss was a tricky one too

Penalty one caught me out too! Got a bit confused, I know for certain you can't score a rebound off your own penalty hitting the post, but a teammate indeed can. Read it wrong! Had no idea you couldn't head it It's hardly providing an advantage! :pac:

I would hjave thought you can't touch a rebound until someone else has touched it first.

I got 9 in the quiz. Never knew you would be onside from a kick out and I don't understand the logic of the direct free. The ref choosing the end for penalties is bizarre. In knockout games it is a huge difference depending on which set of supporters are behind the goal. I wouldn't want to be making that decision at the Bombanera or any number of Eastern European grounds.

Actually, the only way the taker can score a rebound is if it touches another player first. If it comes straight off the post he can't touch the ball first or it's a free out. You can't touch the ball twice consecutively in a penalty situation

I think the joke is on you with that smart comment don't you think, yes??

C is not correct. If the first shot had gone in directly, the second attacker was not 'active' as he wasn't in the line of sight of the goalkeeper. It is only when the ball was parried to him that he became 'active'.

Mind quoting me that rule? I've seen plenty of players hit the woodwork and bang in the rebound both live and on tv.

If I'm wrong, I'll admit it but I'm going to want to see some rules here. I have a hard time believing each professional ref in each game getting that wrong.

Can't quote the rule from here, but I would agree with cgpg5 in that another player must touch the ball before the taker can take a 2nd touch. Perhaps the keeper palmed it on to the post in the circumstances that you have seen

That might be the case. But I've never, ever seen a goal disallowed for scoring directly from a rebound in all my years watching football. Perhaps he's right.

Either way, if somebody could link that rule from an official source, we would all know for sure.

Cheers, had googled myself to make sure and there are plenty of links alright.

In simple a penalty is like a direct free kick and once the ball is kicked the same player cannot touch it again until another player touches the ball in any way. By hitting the post directly it still hasn't touched anyone.

As you say, I'm sure in those instances either the keeper palmed it onto the post!

Well it would appear I was wrong. However an apology is hardly warranted. The mod comment was said in jest. No need for him to get so prickly about it. A nerve was struck perhaps.

Hardly got prickly about it. You sounded so confident in your opinion you even managed to throw in a sly dig and after all you were wrong. Just thought it was funny is all, if your gonna give a dig just check your facts before looking a tw*t

This the one i got wrong...
So by this reckoning, if any direct free kick goes straight into your own net, it's a corner??? Baffling.

Not always, just ask Olof Mellberg and Peter Enckelman. :mad:

it is.

That was an Enckelman OG, apparently it touched his studs on way into the goal.

I rmember thinking should have been a corner at the time.

Apparently. How could the ref tell it touched his studs. I think he just said this after to cover up the fact that he didn't the rule before it happened. Or maybe as a Villa fan, I'm still just a bitter over losing 3-0 to Birmingham City. Even ten years on.

It is indeed. Johan Cruyff did it for Ajax in 1982 and then Thierry Henry and Robert Pires tried (and failed miserably) to do it for Arsenal in 2005 against Man City.

It appeared Pires went to take the penalty and lay it off for Henry who was charging in but Pires either didn't touch the ball or Henry didn't think he did and the pair of them became a laughing stock for a while. :rolleyes:

Cruyff's one worked better. He basically did a one-two around the keeper and had a tap in to an empty net. :cool:

:rolleyes: or :cool: ... It's a fine line.
