You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting. Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes! At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes! BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!  |

Presumably you are the actual lineswoman from yesterday, as your description is totally stupid, any fool knows, you can't be offside from a throw-in... |

Thought it was onside myself but blaming the linesman/woman doesn't hide the fact that the defending or lack of it was sunday league esq.

Where lindley terrier sits it would appear onside due to the angle you look at it from. I sit in direct golf lower, bang in line with the player when he made the pass and the lad who put it away was well offside but the lino was too far behind play and at a bad angle to see it

LT sits right at the top of the Antich around halfway. I sit in line with the edge of the box in the DG Lower... basically having a 'decent' or even 'better' view of said incident. It was offside.  .... like it matters now though. S*it happens. |

Looked offside for me, but I was watching from the half way line. There must be at least 100 fans in a place where it was clear to see.

I was therefore also bang in line with it and still think it was onside |

My mates mates were in the prawn sandwich bit yesterday so he had a few seats spare next to him so I thought I'd try it out at that end.
I'd do owt to get away from my 'friend' who sits behind me in my normal seat.

cant get on the back of the lass. she was the best thing on that pitch all game! she got everything right that she could see other than the last thing because of the pace of the attack. i have nothing but respect for her, best assistant had all season. the ref was another matter though he was shite! and so was town.
