The Ref Stop

Was this one Offside?

That wouldn’t be classed as a deliberate play by the defender.
So the last gullet point in the guidance to the Law overrides all all others, even if all the other four conditions are met? In that case, does it mean any defensive header can never be in control?

I’m not arguing, just want to make sure I get it right and am consistent.

How does US college do it? Assume it's not sanctioned by FIFA? They don't normally like people going off and doing their own thing unaffiliated.
In the US, scholastic sports are generally not affiliated. Neither college nor high schools use the Laws. They each have their own rule book, just like they do in other sports. (In HS, I think part of the reason is that selling the rule books is part of how the national association is funded, so they have an incentive not to just use the Laws. But both books adhere pretty closely to the Laws—there used to be a lot more differences than there are today.
 
Missed offside interfering with an opponent in the Northampton v Peterborough match the other day. Not one person appealed for it. Video from a certain angle looks pretty clear. Pleased it was missed, mind.
