Offsides

[Eddie Bee]

Looking at my son's Match magazine yesterday made for interesting reading.
They have tables for most offsides and Top in Div 2 is Jack Lester of Chesterfield.
Div 1 makes even more interesting reading as we have a Striker who is top easilly with a valiant 42 times no other BHA player makes the top 8.
Who could the player be?
We will have to buy Lester as well.....a partnership made in heaven?

You mean they play for us? Forster then

Murray-no brainer

Its not murray, hasnt played enough this season, has to be forster nailed on

 

[Eddie Bee]

We'll have a few more guesses first before the answer is revealed. Last year It was the same man!

Forster is caught offside more times than Murray! Has to be Forster.

Kuipers

It frustrates me at games when I see the crowd get on the players backs when they are caught offside. Players like Murray and Forster who aren't particularly quick have to stay right on the shoulder of the defender. If they get caught offside four times to then time it perfectly once and score, I am more than happy with that.

That's the point though isn't it, they are not on the shoulder of the last man, they are ahead of them.

With the defenders moving and the ball moving it can't be that easy. Add in the linesman sometimes not being in line and making mistakes. When you play on the edge offside happens.

I think it is good that some players are constantly trying to beat the offside trap, gaining the extra yard is essential as long as they aren't offside every time... what worries me is players that seem unable to understand the offside rule (see Cardiff City's Jay Bothroyd).

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

The problem is tho, particulary at this level the officials aree too slow & although admitedly most of their decisions are legitamate, clever players like Murray beat the trap only to be flagged time & time again.

Frustating

 

[Eddie Bee]

Even watching on TV with replays it is very difficult to judge offside, I'm more than happy with our strikers and am just intersted in other peoples perspectives. Oh, by the way It was not Kuipers.

OK, so it's gone quiet now, and you're bored......The answer is Nicky Forster.
