You can’t be offside from a goal kick or throw in. You can be offside from a goalkeeper kicking out of their hands as that is just a phase of play

Offsides From Goal Kicks, Throw-Ins & Corners: What Are The Rules?

You cannot be offside from a goal kick, throw-in or corner. Here's how the offside rule applies to each set piece — and why free kicks are different.

I thought Villa looked very ordinary. How many of their guys would you swap for ours ?
Could only think of Watkins but I’m happy to have JPM.

We’ve made a few teams look ordinary recently. West Ham and Fulham didn’t manage a single shot on target between them against us on the own patches as well

What's this 'can't be offside from a goal kick' all about? Since when?

Also thought Watkins was offside for their (solitary) goal.

just for clarity when he says goal kick he means a place kick i.e after the ball has gone out of play for a goal kick.

This has always been a non offside situation as has a throw in.

A kick form the keepers hands is a potential offside situation and always has.

Thanks willo very interesting.
I shan’t be shouting at JPM to get onside in future from a goal kick 😀

PGMOL(mainly) & pundits all say that VAR(offsides) is difficult to use because they can't get the right amount of 'angles' due to SP being an ageing stadium. Seems feasible to me.

I can believe that the camera is, most of the time, not in a perfect straight line with the offending offside player, let alone calculating the exact moment the ball leaves the boot of the passer. Therefore VAR, as it stands, is obviously flawed and reliant of the opinion of the VAR assistants. As fans up and down the country have noticed, the assistant's judgement has on occasion tended to favour the bigger team. Sometimes the decision has been so egregious I wonder what is the exact purpose of VAR.
