Offside!


Won't the last goal be an offside?
And before ppl start bombing me with lines like its just a movie. I knw.. I enjoyed it too. I'm just curious.

I mean when Vinnie Jones got the ball he was onside. But the guy he passed the ball to after going past the keeper. That guy was surely offside.

Just finished watching the end on TV, and I thought exactly the same thing. Surely Dyer must have been offside by a country mile?

Fun film though.

Guys you both seem to be forgetting a definitive factor in the offside rule. The criteria which dictates an offside position only counts when the player receiving the pass is ahead of the ball. When Danny stands on it and up until the point he passes it 'back' the striker is behind the ball, he is therefore onside. In fact Danny being the most advanced player on the pitch in possession of the ball puts his entire team onside, Monk could have run the length of the pitch, scored it, and it would still have counted.

Thanks mikeyg24 for a clear definition of the soccer "offside" rule, which has always confused me.

No hassle it's actually one of the most ambiguous elements of the offside rule. I've seen goalkeepers remonstrate with the linesman only to be left redfaced.
