Offence


A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

•interfering with play or
•interfering with an opponent or
•gaining an advantage by being in that position






How can a player who is in an offside position in front of the goal keeper inside the box, waiting for a pass from a teammate, not be in breach of the above? He is interfering with the goalie and he is gaining an advantage by being in that position.
