Quoted from Les Brechin


As the late, great Brian Clough once said.."If he's not interfering with play, then what the hell is he doing on the pitch"



Pmsl......that is a quote of a genius

Just to muddy clarify the position more...

It was only a few weeks ago (the game with the female ref) that Duffy did the same thing, came running back from an offside position with his arms up but the lino that day ALSO flagged him, as Saturdays did. Lord knows what would have happened had the flag stayed up but an opposition player then deflected it to Duffy and he then made a pass to set up a goal. By Saturdays ruling this would have stood as a goal but under  the woman refs ruling, who blew up for the infringement, it wouldn't have stood.

The actual offside law is quite simple it states how a player is in an offside position but it is then down to the interpretation of the referee to decide is the player interfering with play or trying to gain an advantage.

I assume that at the time the Braintree player played the ball away from the Town goal he wasn't interfering with play, he became active once the ball was played towards the Town goal by Disley.

But as Les mentioned and exactly the same as I was told on a referees course (some time ago) if he isn't interferring with play what's he doing on the pitch.
