The role of the goalie in relation to the offside rule in soccer is to stay in their own penalty area and not be considered when determining if an attacking player is in an offside position.

Note that a penalty kick can never be awarded for a goalkeeper's handling.
Under the IFAB Laws of the Game, offside is covered under a single law, Law 11, which constitutes a single rule. It is possible to break down this law into four constituent parts, and one way to do so is as follows:A player is in an offside position if he is nearer to the opponent's goal line than the ball, the second-last defender, and the halfway line.A player is called offside if he is in an offside position at the moment the ball was last played by a teammate, and becomes involved in play by playing the ball, interfering with an opponent, or gaining an advantage by being in that position.A player cannot be called offside directly after a throw-in, corner kick, or goal kick.The referee may play advantage if the offending team would benefit from a stoppage in play, or if the defending team would benefit from continued play.
