[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somw others....Some people don't know that not only can the last defender (or rather 2nd to last if you count the GK) keeps you onside, but so does the ball.  So if you are on a fast break, 2 attackers versus the GK, a teammate can run alongside of or behind the ball and still be onside.  When this happens, 9 out of 10 times, the teammate runs ahead and the kid with the ball passes to him. Flag pops! side.  But if he stays behind or along side....onside!

Another is on a corner kick, the ball can go out of bounds (the entire ball leaves the field of play) and bend back in and get kicked around or whatever, but this is a goal kick because it left the field of play.  Also, I've seen this happen twice and the parents when ape shit.  A corner hits the post and rebounds back to the corner kick taker.  The corner kick taker plays the ball back into the box.  The flag goes up for a double touch and the parents think the AR is signalling for offside.  As previous posters have said, you can't be offside on a corner, so the parents lose it.  They don't realize it was a double touch.  Same with PKs.  If the PK taker hits the post and it rebounds out, the PK taker can't be the next one to touch the ball or it's a double touch.[/quote]

That brings up a good one that drives MY parents nuts. .... A Throw-in due to spin or the wind goes a ways down the line and eventually ends up off the field. You'll hear "It never went in!!" screamed loudly.

Alas, it is almost impossible for the ball to have left the hands of the thrower not touching the line. Think about it, to be in play just an infinitesimal part of the ball has to be above the sideline. Once it does, game on!

Lastly, remember that the AR is supposed to be watching for that very thing to occur.[/quote]
