offside

Hello, first time poster and new referee. Had my first game in the middle today at an academy U12, 9v9 with offsides. I was told prior to the game we do our own offsides. No AR's or Club assistants. I found it really difficult to keep an eye on the offsides as well as everything else. I called...

Hi all, I've been running the line this season as my son's team has just moved up to under 11s. So far so good but I had an incident on Sunday that I wanted to research and it seems as though it wasn't as straightforward as I thought. Ball is played into the home team's penalty area, everyone...

A free kick is awarded to the ABlue team, 10 yards outside 18yard box. The HRed team form a defensive wall just inside the box. Two players from ABlue deliberately stand in an offside position 2 yards behind the defending wall, not interfering with the goalkeeper. The whistle is blown and the...

Link 1 Link 2 what you think? Offside or not?

Been reffing now for like 1 and half seasons just wanting to check about this. Situation: If player A plays a pass in their own half and player B (Both of which same team) receives the pass in the opposition's half in an offside position. Is that offside or onside? As I've been thinking...

This crazy incident happened in a match I was refereeing a couple of weeks ago and I think I made the right decision, but I am still not sure. So, one of the attackers shoots and the GK dives towards the wrong side of the goal, but he's in luck because there's a defender who kicks the ball away...

Seeing everyone hounding the officials. Do you think it was an error or does anyone think he was interfering with play? I see that the keeper has actually hesitated because he thinks the offside player will go for it, so does that mean he’s interfered in your opinion? Can’t seem to find a video...

Direct free kick to the attack (White), 23 yards from goal. Wall demanded by kicker. Ceremonial wall for the defence (Blue). Referee whistles, kicker shoots past the wall with a not very strong shot which the goalkeeper should easily hold. However the keeper fumbles the ball and 3 attackers...

Am I losing my mind, or has one of the changes this season to basically mean that if a defender makes a move towards a ball, even if they don't control it (eg a desperate lunge to stop a ball almost out of reach), that resets offside? Any clear guidance on this, from IFAB, videos anything like...
