Offside (football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1699 words) |
 | The blue forward on the left of the diagram is in an offside position as he is both in front of the second to last defender (marked by the dotted line) and the ball. |
| In order for an offside offence to occur the player must be in an offside position when the ball is touched or played by a team-mate; a player who runs from an onside position into an offside position after the ball was touched or played by a team-mate is not penalised. |
| The sanction for an offside offence is an indirect free kick to the opposing team, at the spot where the offence occurred. |

| Offside rules in Rugby Union are particularly complex to the casual observer. |
| An attacking player is offside if he is in front of the ball: if he is in front of a ball which is then kicked, he can be put onside if the kicker subsequently moves ahead of him before the ball is caught. |
| The offside rule means a player who is offside is committing a foul, unless he is deemed to be not interfering with play (eg, on the other side of the pitch and consequently unable to receive a pass). |
