So I had a weird offside this week and I'm not sure if it is offsides or not. So a Defender from team B Clears the ball (Everyone is onside when kicked, which wouldn't matter because the defender played it) But the Defender from team B plays it into the back of his teammate's head which when It strikes off their head I see team A9 in an offside potion and is receiving the ball. Is this offside because of Deflection Or not because defender played it so Defection would not matter? I went with no offsides in the game but we stopped it for head injury anyway.

I suspect you’re not a level 2 referee… 😂

No offside offence as the ball was played by the defender.
Deflection/deliberate play only becomes a factor when the original pass is played by a team mate of the attacker.
 
This cannot be offside of the deflection was from a defender.
For offside the ball has to last be played or touched by a team mate of the attacking player in offside position.
 
Sounds like a deliberate play so not offside. The defender not impacted by an attacker was free to do anything they liked with the ball,and, for whatever reason, played it off a team mates head?

not offside

Whether it was a deliberate play or not is irrelevant in this case though. Offside requires that the ball be played or touched by a team mate of the offside-positoned player.

In this scenario there's no touch by a team mate while the player is in an offside position, so the question of an offside offence simply never arises in the first place.
