Here's a fun offside scenario - I actually e-mailed IFAB for clarification, but I'm curious to see what everyone thinks.

Scenario: Team A throws ball in, ball deflects off the back of a player's head from Team B, a second player in the offside position from Team A plays the ball and scores. What is the call?

Law 11.2 — Offside offence:

>"[…] gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has:
– rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar, match official or an opponent
– been deliberately saved by any opponent.

>A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately played the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent."

Law 11.3 — No offence:

>"There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
* a goal kick
* a throw-in
* a corner kick"

My take is a deflection doesn't reset offsides, and a deflection isn't directly from the opponent on the throw in. But I'd love to hear everyone's take.

[EDIT] Official IFAB response is: > The goal should be awarded as no other attacker touched/played the ball after the throw-in was taken.

Thanks everyone for the healthy debate.

I finally caved and wanted to install OC today, at first I was going to install it on a server in my DMZ, but it turns out while I got it to install, it constantly hangs because the old CPU in there doesn't like newer versions of node.

So instead I pivoted to install it on my main home server using Docker compose, and WTF - why do I have to download the entire repo and run setup.sh I've never seen anything so convoluted for a docker setup (Nemo Claw doesn't look much better either!)

Am I missing something where I can simply download a .yml file, set my values and type docker compose up to run unprivileged (I use userns-remap)?
