I always remember that, when I was a nipper, you couldn't be offside from a throw-in or free kick, nor if you were in your own half. Can someone tell me if this is still the case or did the rules change when I wasn't paying attention?

You can’t be offside from a throw-in or when in your own half, but you can be offside from a free kick.

PS you can’t be offside if you receive the ball direct from a goal kick or a corner kick either. Maybe you confused free kick with goal kick in your post, Cucking. Edited by YT (01 Jul 2018 4.59pm) Edited by YT (01 Jul 2018 7.15pm)

You also can't be offside if you receive the ball from an opponent, even if he's a Kraut.

Vince was ambling back when a QPR player inexplicably back-passed the ball straight to him. Up went the flag, peep went the whistle. Thanks very much and goodnight. 0-0 it ended. Cheers ref and line-o.

Edited by YT (01 Jul 2018 4.59pm) Edited by YT (01 Jul 2018 7.15pm) I think it must be a rule change. We're going back a few years here but I was always of the impression that you couldn't be offside from any kind of dead ball situation. And while we're on the subject, you don't see too many indirect free kicks these days. Or perhaps that's my memory failing me which can by no means be ruled out.

Well I can’t speak for the Corinthian era, but ever since I’ve been watching footie (1966 ‘n’ all that) offside at free kicks has applied. Anything else would have been a “goal-hangers’ charter”. Lots of indirect free-kicks are awarded - offside for example. But I agree that they tend to be rare these days in attacking situations. The most typical awards would be for dangerous play (eg “foot up”) or a keeper handling a back-pass, but that offence hardly ever happens now. “Impeding an opponent without making contact” aka “obstruction” hardly ever seems to be awarded these days, as players who are potentially obstructed always make a point of colliding with the obstructing player. Refs then interpret this as a foul. There’s actually quite a lot of offences that merit an indirect free-kick. See Law 12 Edited by YT (02 Jul 2018 6.04am)

You seem to be a very knowledgeable fellow, YT. And we both started watching around the same time.
