As play approaches the goal, the goalkeeper’s primary focus is on the ball. Offside
decisions are the responsibility of the officials not the goalkeeper.
Goalkeepers should not allow themselves to be distracted by the nearby presence of
opposing players, whether they are offside or not offside.
The goalkeepers’ attention should be on the ball !!

MECHANICS• At the moment a teammate plays the ball,
the assistant referee, before raising the flag must:– Observe players’ positions– Evaluate players’ activities
In other words ask the questions!
• Player activities means that the player is immediately involved with that particular sequence of play
89
MECHANICSBefore raising the flag to indicate a player is
off-side, be certain that the player is involved with active play by:
• Interfering with play, or
• Interfering with an opponent, or
• Gaining an advantage by being in an off-side position
Only then signal to the referee when you are wholly satisfied that this is the case
