- he is level with the second last opponent
or
- he is level with the last two opponents
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
No offence
There is no offside situation if a player receives the ball directly from:
