It is possible they are not.

If the player that is in the offside position does not interfere with play (read: touch the ball), interfere with an opponent (make a move that causes an opponent to react), or gain an advantage (interfere with the vision or movement of the goal keeper, collect a rebound, etc) then there would be no offside infraction.

A player CAN NOT be called for an offside infringement if not "active in the play" however you can be "active in the play" without playing the ball. A player CAN be in an offside POSITION with out being "active in the play."

It would be counted, unless the player in the offside position either obstructed the view of the goal keeper or their presence prevented the goal keeper from playing the ball somehow.

No-Because he was offside when his or her team mate struck the ball and became "in play" as soon as he or she touched it

If a player is standing in the offside position but not receiving ball from the other player who is carrying the ball will be declared offside by the referee in the football?

To be offside, you do not have to touch it. If you interfere with an opponent (e.g. possibly lunge at him) or gain an advantage by being there (e.g. recover a deflection off the keeper or goalpost) are also enough.


Were is the off side line in rugby when a player is tackled also if the player laid with his or her arms reached out towards their scrum half.?

In the tackle scenarion. When a ruck, maul, scrum or lineout forms, a player who is offside and is retiring as required by Law remains offside even when the opposing team wins possession and the ruck, maul, scrum or lineout has ended. The player is put onside by retiring behind the applicable offside line. No other action of the offside player and no action of that player's team mates can put the offside player onside. If the player remains offside the player can be put onside only by the action of the opposing team. There are two such actions: An Opponent runs 5 metres with ball. When an opponent carrying the ball has run 5 metres, the offside player is put onside. An offside player is not put onside when an opponent passes the ball. Even if the opponents pass the ball several times, their action does not put the offside player onside. An Opponent kicks. When an opponent kicks the ball, the offside player is put onside.

How has the offside rule changed?

The original offside rule was that if any attacking player is ahead of the last defender when the ball is played then the attacking player must be given offside. The player must be given offside even if he doesn't receive the pass. The new rule is that the player can only be given offside if he is interfering with play i.e. he receives the ball, he obstructs defending players, blcoks the goalkeepers view, etc.

What is the disasdvantage of having an offside in football?

The offside is a very fair rule and has only one disadvantage and that is, the linesmen and referee have to make their decisions in a split second, with the naked eye and they often make mistakes, giving goals that were offside and ruling out goals when they were onside.


What does it mean if you say a player is off sides in soccer?

When a player is offside it means that they are past the last defender* when the ball is kicked. So for example if we have to teams, blue and red, the blue defenders are all standing in a line, but a red attacker is standing behind them( close to the blue teams goals) and a red teammate kicks the ball to the red attacker. If the red attacker is behind the last blue defender than they are offside if they are standing in front of the last blue defender when the ball is kicked they are onside. It's hard to explain without a diagram. Offsides were created to stop players from just standing near the oppositions goal and waiting for the ball to be lobbed over to them (also known as cherry picking). Offsides are one of the most controversial elements in football as they are easy to get wrong and may result in goals. If a player is offside the opposition gets a free kick from where the player was called offside. Hope this made a little bit more sense. *the goalkeeper is actually the last defender so technically it is the second last defender


If you are stood behind the goal line can you be in an offside position?

A player who is behind the ball cannot be in an offside position. A player that is in an offside position at the moment of the kick would be guilty of an offense if he runs back to collect a pass, even if the pass was backward.
