The first player took a shot. The second player kicked it I think in the small box. It's possible the shot would have gone wide, but it looked to me like it was going in.

I would say offsides. The second player became part of the play while in an offsides position once they make a play on the ball

I saw an attacking player foul the defender who had successfully shielded the ball. The defender fell as a result of the foul and ended up with the ball trapped under his body. The ref blew his whistle, but the attacker continued and kicked the ball hard right into the defender. Should this have been a red card?

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

A player is in an offside position if:

any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and

any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

Misleading reference, champ. If a teammate is onside with the ball and behind the last or second-to-last opponent and plays a pass to a teammate who is behind the ball it's not offside.

Dumb as a box of rocks. Read what the guy wrote "champ". any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

+1 Thanks. You posted right before I did.

Didn't finish statement: If a teammate is onside with the ball and past the last or second-to-last opponent and plays a pass to a teammate who is behind the ball (i.e. the ball is closer to the goal than teammate is when the ball is played) it's not offside.

What the F are you even talking about? Misleading reference? I copied and pasted straight from the law so people can read what it says. Yes, the ball keeps an attacker onside.

this doesnt quite make sense

Offensive player was past the defense and kicks from approximately the big box

based on your description the offensive players/shooter is already in behind the defenders all be them self. so assuming this the offensive player on a 1 v1 break is not offide and can pass to a supporting player that trails the initial but catches up

we saw that this weekend player beat the last defender on a long ball, goalie came out to challenge, offense player passed to another player slightly behind who then had an open goal shot. It was called offside, but no idea what if that was correct. Also U11 so no one really cared.

If the player has the ball past the last defender, the offside line is where the ball is.

So if the teammate is even or behind the ball even though they're way past the last defender, it's not offsides.

Posting this for people to present game situations and what the ruling should be. Hopefully some actual refs will chime in with a ruling after the discussion has happened.

I'll start, with what I saw yesterday. Go ahead goal that was allowed to stand that I thought should have been offsides.
Offensive player was past the defense and kicks from approximately the big box, goalie is not close to it. I thought it was going in but not sure. The player's teammate intercepted and kicked it in for a goal. The scorer was about halfway to the goal from when his teammate kicked it.

Basically, the question is if two teammates are past the last defender headed towards the goal, are they allowed to pass to each other?
