Pretty sure this will trigger offsides, unless they also trap an opposing team player and take them with them...

Offsides is the most bullshit rule ever invented. "You're behind all our defenders!!!" Yeah no shit that's because I'm trying to SCORE

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, I have similar feelings about hockey. Your team’s offense can’t be in front of the puck until it is on the opposing team’s side of the rink. Which functionally means you can’t pass the puck forwards to the offense, because they can’t be on offense until after the puck has crossed the center line.

The defense was caught with their pants down, because the opposing team managed to get a player behind them, and then managed to pass the puck to them? That should be egg on the defense’s face, not a penalty for the offense.

Until after the puck crossed center line

This is not the case, it’s the blue line you cannot cross until the puck has. If you attempt a pass from behind the redline, and no one on your team touches it, then, yes, it’s icing. So that you can’t just throw the puck out on defense.

They came up with it because cherry picking is outrageously boring.

"How dare you catch us off-guard!!!"

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Once you (puck/ball first) cross the line (midfield in soccer, blue line in hockey) you're free to pass it to your teammate, plenty easy to take advantage of them being off guard without being offsides

[–] groet@feddit.org 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly the opposite. Offsite means it is illegal to pass the ball to a player behind the last defender and instead you must walk the ball around said last defender. This tactic is all walking and zero passing so offsite never applies.

Instead its illegal because you are holding the ball. Every move where the ball is stuck for more than like a second is a foul.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What if one guy just bounced the ball on his head constantly while the other 10 players surround him tightly?

[–] groet@feddit.org 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not illegal in theory but easily countered by the enemy team just encircling them or forming a wall. Pushing the enemy team out of the way of the ball bouncer would be a foul.

Also the referee could just call it unsportsmanlike or obstruction of play and give a free kick to the enemy. The referee is basically always allowed to call any bullshit.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 1 day ago

I think it's not a foul if you're using your whole body. So you just need really big guys to slowly push the wall. And if you can't bribe a referee what are you even doing playing football?
