Offside Position vs. Infraction It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his/her team, he/she is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by: • interfering with play • interfering with an opponent • gaining an advantage by being in that position
So what’s the answer? Neither “A” nor “B” should be penalised for offside. Although “B” is now in an offside position, he/she should not be penalised unless he/she becomes involved in active play. Let’s see what happens next.
