@GarethGibson5 @officialswifts had all but David Howell - funny story - made his debut on a Friday night away at Enfield FC (1 Nov 96). Mitchell Springett sat in our dressing room and said he'd seen him & said he's f'ing useless to his team mates only for him to come into our dressing room a few minutes later!

@hillsy10 @Coyleycoyley Quarter final of the Essex senior cup against Concord the season we got to the last 16 in the vase.
English

@RefereeHudson @Coyleycoyley 3- law up. There should be no interpretation except for how it’s worded in law. The sleeve is for determining handball and offside says arms and hands can not be offside if they want to use the sleeve line for offside they should word it that way
English

@GarethGibson5 @Coyleycoyley The shoulder is not considered particularly of the arm and as such it is part of the body. The body is allowed to legally score a goal and as such is used in the judgement of offside. I have been on enough law tests and ref training events to know that.

English

@RefereeHudson @Coyleycoyley 2- the same for saying any part of the body you can score with can be offside as it’s not in the laws and muddies the water and people believe that to be the law. The sleeve has only been brought in the last couple of season to try and clear the handball
English

@RefereeHudson @Coyleycoyley 1-I think this is one of the big problems,on your ref training courses on how to interpret the laws who tells you that is how the law should be interpreted using the shoulder being part of the body so therefore not offside? When in the laws it does not mention shoulder at all.
English

@RefereeHudson @Coyleycoyley Sorry didn’t realise the IFAB laws of the game was the dumbed down version! Again at no point does it mention shoulder or classing the shoulder as part of the body.Please show me where that is said and not just an opinion
English

@GarethGibson5 @Coyleycoyley That's the dumbed down version. Just to clarify...the upper arm or "upper boundary of the arm" which is the term used in law is classified as the shoulder. The shoulder is part of the body. The body is used in the determination of offside.
English

@RefereeHudson @Coyleycoyley Nowhere in the law does it say any part of the body that you can legally score with is used to judge offside. So not factual or correct.Sleeve line is for handball offences as in law and offside says arms and hands not included.
English

@GarethGibson5 @Coyleycoyley As previously stated. Offside is judged on any part of the body that can be used legally (within the laws of the game) to score a goal. This is factual and correct.
English

@RefereeHudson @Coyleycoyley That is an incorrect interpretation as the law clearly says that the upper arm definition is for handball.
If they meant it to be for offside as well it would be written that way.
English

@GarethGibson5 @Coyleycoyley What they mean by arms and hands are the parts that would be used to determine handball, thus meaning the upper arm which is not handball is considered into offside. That is why they draw the lines from the upper arm and not the shoulder.
English

@RefereeHudson @Coyleycoyley The law says the upper arm definition is only for handball offences. The law for offside says arms and hands are not included.It doesn’t say any body part you can score with.

English

@GarethGibson5 @Coyleycoyley Incorrect. The upper arm is legal to score a goal with thus taken into consideration for offside. With Havertz goal, it looks like in the image that it hits close to his elbow, which is below the defined upper arm and thus was correct to be ruled out.
