ME! =) A player is off side when he is ahead of the last defender when the ball is being played to him orhe has possesion of the ball! oh i hope that makes sense lol

I dont think anyone really understands the offside rule anymore, it used to be so simple but now with not. Is a player interfering with play or not. what chance do we stand of figuring it out when the refs aint got a clue themselves, god i liked it ten years ago things were so much more simple

I do. I have to - my wife is a qualified referee. The shame of not understanding it would be too great to bear.

I understand it. Dont pass in front of the last defender of the opposing team. I always was taught dont cherrypick, if you are in a position to make an offsides pass simply run the ball or call for support.

Wow, all of these answers are misconseptions. Trust me, im a ref. The moment a player is passed a ball(not when he recieves it) and he is passed the 2nd to last defender (goalie counts as a defender) he is offsides. OR if a player is in offsides position and interferes with the play. The biggest example is if a player is shooting, and a teammate of the shooter is standing next to the goal.

Me. It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside postion. Once the player recives the ball from a team mate or unintentionally by an oppostion player then he is offside. If he interfers with play he is offsde. If a defender plays the ball to the goal keeper and the player offside gets the ball and scores it is a goal. If the defender gets the ball and the offside player stops him from playing the ball or distracts him then he is offside.
