So is the offside rule that you're offside if you make a movement towards the ball?

My understanding of the offside rule is far from comprehensive. But if it's a question of touching the ball, how can it also be a question of one's *intention to touch the ball? You touch it or you don't. Kind of like you can't be half-pregnant.

Clearly your mum was half pregnant
Blocking the goalies line of sight with a movement towards the ball will usually be called offside

Oh yeah that. But this was not that thing. Who are you, Patriot fan, to lecture me about the rules. Tuck rule, tuck rule!!
