Italy's offside corner

[Amir]

Thought it was against Chelsea?

It was. It was disallowed, but we still scored our first a minute later and won 3-0. 2008/09.

 

[George Owen]

It was offside because he kicked the ball forward?

 

[arthurka]

Yeah.

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

• a goal kick
• a throw-in
• a corner kick

Thought this was a basic knowledge.

Wasn't surprised to see it disallowed really, it was a bit too sneaky.

 

[rcoobc]

It's because he came from off the pitch, isn't it?

Does that overrule the "no offside from a corner"?

I used to think I had a decent grasp of the laws of the game but not for a while now!

Yes it does but the linesman gave offside not a free kick for leaving field of play

Wasn't it Inter Milan? With Ronaldo scoring from the retaken corner?

Chelsea.

Got the player wrong, it was Ronaldo who scored

I genuinely thought it was a 1-2 until the replay. Appalling decision.


If you’re off the pitch, you’re counted as being on the byline.

But I think you need autorisation to get on the pitch from the referee if you're outside off the pitch on purpose.

Nope. Players go off for water or for instructions every other game.

Bad decision, but what was the point of this move? Why not just pass it directly to Jorginho from the corner?

It drew another player out of wide to cover him. They were loading players in the box all match so it makes sense if it creates a bit more space.
