Thanks for the link for the disputed Debrecen goal. Actually, the player was clearly offside and a goal can be called back for an infringement at kickoff. I know as I was called for it in an almost identical play in a match four years ago. I was clearly offside at kickoff, got the ball directed to me at the second touch and subsequently beat my man easily and scored. The opposing team complained and the ref consulted the linesman, who confirmed that I was into the opponents half before kickoff. My teammate and I questioned the call and the ref pulled out his FIFA handbook and showed me the rule governing this.
