    A player is judged to be in an offsides position if there are not at least two players between him and the goal he is attacking at the moment that the ball is played forward to him. Often, one of the two opposing players between him and the goal he is attacking is the opposing goalkeeper, but not always. Exceptions to this rule are when the attacking player is behind the ball, when the ball is being thrown in and during a goal kick. The penalty for offsides is an indirect free kick from the spot where the offending player was judged to be in an offsides position at the time the ball was played forward to him.

    • I've also seen yellow cards given when players were called offsides and shot on the goal after the call was made.

    • Offside in a nutshell. Not an easy thing to do.
