Yay! I'm watching Dancing on Ice too! I caught the first one by accident and couldn't believe how good they all were! Clare, in particular, is absolutely amazing! I really hope she wins it as she's done so well it would be awful if she fluffed it and lost out. IMO she is FAR better than the others!

I can't believe Stephen Gateley is still in. He must have a huge fan base voting for him. I think that's a bit of a problem as people vote for whom they like rather than who performed the best. How terrible it would be if the fans voted for him to win the finals over Clare when she is a far superior skater.

Didn't Kay do well this week? That was a horrible knock she had last week and it totally shook her confidence.

And lastly, isn't Jason the judge a nasty piece of work? Talk about over critical!

Having said all that I'm thoroughly enjoying it! It's been a good tv weekend, which is a rarity! We had a new Midsomer Murders yesterday, Dancing on Ice today and a new 24 tomorrow! Woohoo!

Do you watch Dancing on Ice: Defrosted on ITV2 afterwards Bez? And then the voting and Skate Off on ITV1 after that and then the final views of the skaters on Dancing on Ice: Defrosted on ITV2 again afterwards? It takes a long time to watch but its such an interesting programme!

Whew! I'll shut up now. :rolleyes:

The Offside Rule and Offside Trap in Football(Soccer)





It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.



A player is in an offside position if:


he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent
A player is not in an offside position if:


he is in his own half of the field of play

he is level with the second last opponent

he is level with the last two opponents
Commiting an Offside Offence

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:


interfering with play

interfering with an opponent

gaining an advantage by being in that position
No Offence

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:


a goal kick

a throw-in

a corner kickInfringements/Sanctions

For any offside offence, the referee awards an indirect free kick to the opposing team to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred.

This is offside because the red number 10 is in front of all of the defenders, leaving only the goalkeeper back which isn't enough players to play him onside. This position may have been forced by the defenders moving forward in what is called the offside trap.



Here we can see that the blue number 3 defender has fail to move up the field with rest of his defence and played the red number 9 onside. This is a classic example of where the offside trap fails

The offside rule exists to stop goal hanging, where a player stands next to the opposing teams goal keeper in the hope that someone can get the ball to him (probably using a long ball), so he can get it past the goal keeper. Which would make for a very boring game.

The red number 9 isn't beyond the blue 4 defender but is offside because the goal keeper isn't back. This is one of those rare occasions where goal keeper is out of the goal (e.g. last minute of F.A. Cup final on a corner kick) and can't get back in time but if the attacking team play the ball as they normally would, then it would be offside because the offside rule requires two defenders to be in front the attacker and the goal keeper usually counts as a defender.



Why are linesmen (assistant referees) always calling offside when it isn't? Well believe it or not its not really their fault (unless the decision goes against you or your team), it's all to do with angles and line of sight. In the picture the purple line represents the linesman's line of sight which as you can see is at a slight angle, this line should be parallel with the goal line. So even though the red number 10 is being played onside by the blue defender it will be called offside. This is unfortunate but does happen from time to time.
