I'd like to think we have all been in this situation more often than not when running the line.

You see a player is onside so allow play to continue and one of the defenders asks nicely (well sometimes they do) which one played him on.

Sometimes you can't really be sure exactly who played him on, you just know the player was onside.

How do you react in this situation?

"Him"

*point vaguely towards the middle of the pitch where all the players have inevitabley gone*

*run away while player is looking*

If in doubt, "The right back" (unless the right back is asking, in which case, pick a different position)

"The guy in blue over there" (assuming that the defending team is in blue... )

The red player. Insert appropiate colour as required.

I have noticed vast majority of times the one who 'played him on' is the first defender who appeals for offside (to save face).

Or the sheepish one who doesn't appeal and just walks away whilst his team mates are appealing!

'You did'...said with 100% confidence and straight face even if not true. Highly entertaining.

For serious answer see @GraemeS answer above.
