Law 11 offside

[Forlan]

I think the confusion in the OP is caused by the fact that "a rebound from a defender does not reset offside". It can be wrongly interpreted that because in the OP the ball last rebound off a defender and went to an offside player then it should be offside.

What is not considered in this wrong interpretation is that there was never an offside before the rebound so whether it should be reset or not is irrelevant.

Many thanks, that’s the confirmation I was looking for, just so I know how to word it when players ask why I’ve made the decision...... will probably never happen again in my careerer but very interesting none the less!
