Like most things in football, the offside rule is pretty simple - but there are a few situations that can make the calmest of managers blow their top.The 'active' ruling for example. Players can be in an offside position but not be offside. It doesn't quite make sense at first, but let's stick to the basics first.
A player is in an offside position if, when the ball is played by a team-mate, they are nearer to the opposition's goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.
From the graphic above, the second last opponent determines the line from where the offside area begins and can be anywhere in this half of the pitch.
The referee's assistant will make their decision based on this offside area.
All straightforward so far? This is where the grey areas start to make life a little confusing.
A change to the rule was introduced two years ago, which allows a player to be in an offside position provided they are not "actively involved in play".
It was designed to promote attacking football, but it is open to interpretation.
Fifa, world football's governing body, gives the following definition:
"Interfering with play means playing or touching the ball passed or touched by a team-mate." However, a player does not necessarily have to touch the ball to influence play. They are still offside if, in the opinion of the referee, they are judged to be:
- Interfering with an opponent If an attacker interferes with an opponent by either preventing them from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision or movements or making a gesture or movement which deceives or distracts an opponent, then they are offside.
- Gaining an advantage If the ball is played into the penalty area and he plays the ball that rebounds to him off a post, crossbar or an opposing defender, then the attacker is offside as they have gained an advantage by being in that position.
