Rules changed so fk is where offence takes place so when Josh came back from an offside position and attempted to play the ball the offence was in own half.

No big deal
Cheers... Didnt realise this was the case anymore.
If the ref he hadn't noticed the flag straight away, Josh had kept running back and then touched the ball in our penalty box, would he have given a penalty?

The worst decision was the second half ref saying the ball hadn't left the penalty area which looked like to me it had. The our half offside is a recent new law and the ref was right.

I must admit I didn't know about this law change. Why the hell do they keep messing around with the laws which have no beneficial impact on the game. It all just makes it harder for refs who have to handle the frustration of everyone who didn't realise. THast includes KR, LB and JJ who were all doing their nuts at the time!

I really hope you're joking about our manager and first team coaches not understanding the laws of football !

It doesn't make it harder in this instance. There were two conflicting rules. The muddle needed to be cleared up. (I happen to believe they chose the wrong option but that's another matter.)
In David Elleray's own words: “Part of the law book says when players commit an offside offence you give a free-kick where the offence occurred. The other part of the law book says you give a free-kick where the player was when he was in the offside position. So a player can actually move 20 yards from being in an offside position … and it is only the moment he plays the ball that he is penalised. The law tells you to give the free-kick in two different places.
“So, in future, the free-kick will always be given where he commits the offside offence, even if he is in his own half, because you cannot be in an offside position in your own half, but you can go back into your own half to commit an offside offence.”

I thought the ref had given a free kick, not a goal kick, which means the ball does not have to leave the area after the ball has been kicked.
This offside ruling was brought in at the start of last season. Radical suggestion I know, but what if everybody in the football industry read the laws of the game?

That was the explanation I heard.
Unless they have changed the law a free kick in the area does need to leave the area before another player can touch it.

Oddly the guy who said that to me last night is a referee, so I assumed he would know!
If, when a free kick is taken by the defending team inside its penalty area, the ball is not kicked directly out of the penalty area the kick is retaken.

Anyone else would have been flagged for that.
In this case getting back into your own half would be good enough to allow you to play on.
Don't the FA send new rules to the clubs ?
My brother said he saw it happen in a game last week.
Everyone around me said the Referee was useless (other adjectives were used)

Having read the laws, he was clearly mistaken.

My apologies.
