What does offside mean in football?
Answers:
It goes back to the first days of the Premier League. Offside means just that. When a player is past the second last defender, he is Off his Side and therefore not supposed to play the ball.
When I went through referee school, Law 11, which covers Offside, is not even one complete page. BUT.. it had 2 videos, about 100 slides, and took over an hour of class time. But it is one of the most simple laws of soccer/football.

when a player recives a pass but there are no defenders between him and the goalie .....you mean soccer not football
In outdoor soccer, an offsides foul is called when an attacking player is passed the ball and there are not at least two opponents between him or her and the goal line. In other words, on the opponent's side of the field, a pass must always be made when the intended attacker is not closer to the goalkeeper than any other opposing player.
The determination of offsides has been around since the inception of soccer. The rule's intention is to give the opposing team a fair chance to defend by keeping two players near the goal at all times. Usually, these are the goalkeeper and one other defender, but not necessarily. The offsides rule still allows for the chance to score. It's based on the moment the ball is played forward to the shooter, so he or she can successfully receive the pass and still outrun the defenders to make a goal.
There are some exceptions to the rule of offsides. It cannot be called if the players are on their own side of the field, nor is it valid on a throw-in, goal kick, or corner kick. A referee calls offsides by waving his or her flags. Then the referee must determine the place on the field the attacking player was located when the violation was made. The opposing team gets an indirect free kick from that position when offsides is called in their favor.
Offsides has always been a controversial rule, particularly because a referee has some freedom of interpretation. He or she must determine if the circumstances were right to make an official offsides call, even if the player was technically occupying an offsides position. A referee has flexibility in ruling that the player seriously intended to receive the pass, was moving forward, and was significantly "interfering with play," as the rule book states. This means the attacker had a fair chance of scoring a goal in addition to being offsides.
If you do not know this you should not be watching football
Somehow,I don't think you'll get a clear and concise answer to this question!
both teams line up on each down opposite each other on a line called the yard line, when one team is over that line when the play begins for that down ,its called offsides and is a penalty followed by loss of down or yards.
Basically if the opposition pass the ball to a player who was at that time nearer to the opposition goal keeper then a outfield player on that team. That is the basics of offside. When the offside rule is applyed the game halts and the opposition of the team get to restart the game.
Hello, I have no idea what so ever so thankyou because ive just learnt somthing myself. alex x
There must be a defender between the attacker of the opposite team and the goalie when the ball is passed.
the simplest answer is that if one player or some players of "blue" team are closer to "red's" goalkeeper than the last defender of "red" team (in pass moment) :) for example- [# |* # ]
# -"red" players, | - offside, * - "blue" player, [ ] - stadium
That's simply, isn't it?:)
type offside rules in a search engine. they can explain it more to you than asking people
