How is the black bloke not offside when he's the one who flicks the header on. Great highlights we only had one shot.

I mean when the kick was taken is this classed as 2nd phase?

I think that will be the rationale but I don’t see how you can claim it’s a new phase without making just touching the ball a “phase”.

No that’s not off side

Reading up on phases of play you’re right, he’s not interfering for the initial ball in (according to the law) and once it’s knocked on. It’s another phase of play.

Still a stupid rule. Nothing has ever convinced me that “interfering with play” has any meaning. Every player on the pitch is always interfering with play IMO but I get that’s not the rule.
