UCD 2 Shels 2

Hm.

Here's the official definition of offside from wikipedia -

"nearer to an opponent's goal line" meant that "any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent. The arms are not included in this definition."

I'm still stuck with the idea that there has to be daylight between the attacker and the last defender to be offside. On that definition, and on the way Killer's shadow is a bit ahead of the Shels defender, it appears dmanetc may well be right.

His shadow appears to be parallel to the lines on the pitch (hard to be precise there though), which would suggest that that's correct.

LOL

Regardless of the precise, official definition, it has to be called by a person who's likely not in direct line with the players and that looks too close to call in a split second.

Waterford v Shels tonight is off. Not sure if that's good or bad for us. Probably irrelevant.
