BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 You can see it in moving pictures in here ... http://rangersfc.org/index.php?dn=news&to=art&id=2047 ... go to 14.40 left. The chap in the middle, Schalk, looks very much off-side, as does the chap receiving the flick. OK, I've replayed this about a dozen times and it is very difficult to freeze frame at the precise moment when the ball is headed forward but as best as I can do it the winger is out of the picture on the right i.e. he is in the light shaded grass area whereas the defenders are in the dark area, which would suggest that he was indeed offside at the moment the ball was last played by a member of his team. Schalk is in an offside position as well but whether or not he could be penalised depends on whether or not the referee considers that he is "interfering" or "seeking to gain an advantage". (My opinion is that that players are almost always seeking to gain an advantage!) I don't think Schalk is offside from the pass inside as it seems to me he runs past the Rangers defender; but it's a bad angle so difficult to tell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
