Re: Q and A Sessions with VK

I wonder if what we are experiencing now is what some other teams have had for 10 even 20 years plus. Football has changed around us but we still had local owners a British manager and mostly British players. I think that's just how the chips fell and wasn't on purpose.

So, a keeper, with one defender and an attacker behind him kicks the ball forward, it inadvertently hits another defender and goes back to the striker (in an offside position) who pops the ball in the net. Is the striker offside?

OK, so it doesn't matter which team played the ball if the last touch was the deflection?
