Offside
Posted by Ste Daley*·
Factually offside from when the shot comes in, goes to screen to decide whether ref things he is gaining an advantage.
Player online is not deliberately playing the ball, it just hits him then the second player is forced into playing the ball (hacking it clear) due to Johnson’s presence, which if he wasn’t offside he wouldn’t be able to challenge for it.
If Johnson was stood still and didn’t go for it and the hull player hit it against him it would be a goal but because Brennan competes for it and the defender has to clear it because he competes for it then it’s offside.
Under the laws the defender has to have control over what he does with it.
Unfortunately I think they got this one correct, as shit as it looks.
