Offside?
Offside?
A home team player passes back towards a team-mate – but the ball strikes the heel of an opponent and flies forward to the home team’s star striker, who is in an offside position. The striker races away unchallenged and scores –but the keeper insists he was offside. The striker says he was ‘played on’.
What is your decision? Is it a goal?
You are the ref
Read the statements below and decide which is best. In this case, is it a goal or not?.
Yes - It's a goal!
Sorry, that's not the right answer.
Keith Hackett: The home player in the offside position has an unfair advantage, so must be penalised, as stated in law, ‘the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team’.
‘Played on’ hasn’t existed in the laws of the game since 1978.
No - It's not a goal!
Correct!

That's always a difficult situation to the match officials. But if the intention was there, than the striker took advantage from his offside position.

Clearly no goal, the striker has an unfair advantage from the start of the pass.

The offside position or valid one is considered when the same team player kicks the ball to a pass.

I may be mistaken, but according to the recent developments in the rules of the game if such back-heeling is unintentional, the striker is played on and a goal should be allowed.
