   4. (b) Offside offence: being in that position is not itself an offence; the player is penalised only if, when a team-mate plays or touches the ball, he becomes involved in active play (interfering with play or an opponent, or gaining an advantage). There is no offside offence directly from a goal kick, throw-in or corner kick.+0.5
   5. (c) Method of scoring: A goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, between the goalposts and under the crossbar, provided the scoring team has committed no offence.+1

   Answer: (a) Two halves of 45 minutes each; half-time interval of not more than 15 minutes. (b) A player is in an offside position when in the opponents' half and nearer to their goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent; it is an offence only if he is involved in active play when a team-mate plays the ball, and never directly from a goal kick, throw-in or corner kick. (c) A goal is scored when the whole ball crosses the goal line between the posts and under the crossbar, with no offence by the scoring team. (d) Play restarts with a kick-off from the centre mark by the team that conceded the goal.
