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.

The most controversial thing about the offside rule is the regulation that a player is only deemed offside if he is "interfering with play". If the referee deems that a player is not interfering with play, he may decide not to blow his whistle, even if the player is blatantly in an offside position. This infuriates many fans, who generally share the view of the legendary manager Brian Clough who once commented that any player who isn't interfering with play has no business being on a football picth in the first place.

An attacking player is called offsides when receiving a forward pass from a teammate, if there are not at least two opponents (usually one defender and the goalkeeper) ahead of the receiver—that is, between the attacking player and the opponents' goal line. A player cannot be ruled offside when receiving the ball from a throw-in or if the player is in his or her own half of the field. The referee or the referee's assistants determine offsides infractions and signal them by waving their flags and pointing to the spot where the infraction occurred. An indirect free kick from the point of infraction is then awarded to the defending team.
