i know that this is a big debating matter already but i have another query to answer..
Recently me and a friend have been arguing about the offside rule which states:
The player must NOT be beyond the last man when the ball is played forward etc etc
This i agree with BUT i say the rule should be:
The player must NOT be beyond the last TWO man when the ball is played forward
This is because the keeper is classed as 1 of the said men.
I think this is right
if the keeper is say 20 yards from his net and a defender is on the goal line (keeper as been up for a corner) and the striker is say 12 yards out and receives a pass he will be given offside by the official even though hes not beyond the last man but he is beyond the last 2? *(still following all this???) i personally think offside should be given my friend on the other hand doesnt he says play should carry on as normal
HELP PLEASE
