Does anyone actually understand this rule anymore - including the refs?
The Brum freekick was a great example of why its just not working. Jaidi (sp?!) was stood about 4 or 5yrds offside right in the line of sight between Reina and the ball waving his arms, freekcik was taken really well and they score.
Now how is Jaidi NOT interfering with play there!?  He did the exact same against Everton the other week aswell and they scored.

shut up you scouse clown 
he didn't touch the ball and yes it may be interfering with reina's vision of the ball but so does the sun when the ball is up in the air.
is the sun now going to be offside aswell?
no one actually fully understands the RULE as it's not just one rule any more.

i do.
there must be two defenders behind the most forward opposing player who is affecting play when the ball is played. a player does not need to make contact for him to be in play.

Since when has the sun been one of the 11 players in the team 
Next you'll be asking why the turf hasnt been booked or sent off for causing some of those metatarsal injuries

I think he was pushing the rules abit, BUT he was not looking at the ball, he had no idea where the ball was so therefore he is not interfering with play

He was standing in the vision of the keeper (during a direct freekick) and the ball - thats interfering IMO.
And him not looking at the ball made it worse for me, as showed he had no intention of trying to make contact with the ball and was only there to put the keeper off.

Thats true, im only saying why i think they didnt pull him up for being offside, shit rule IMO, i think if a player is between the goalkeeper and last defender and your on the field your offside, none of this active shit.

Offisde should be offside IMO. None of this 'he wasn't interferring' bollocks.
Cosmo is right, nobody understands it, everyone interprets it differently. It's a load of toss.

So if i was a forward am i allowed to stand a foot infront of the goalkeeper and try and put him off? as long as im standing face to face with the keeper im not interfering with play?

agreed. Does my head in when playing, when you get a striker that stands yards behind you in offside positions roaming about. THey are interfearing with play, just indirectly. Standing infront of a goalkeeper is a bloody big interferance.
On another note, have the rules for penalties changed?
1; you often see the taker breaking mid run, (see Ronaldo for example)
2. loads of goalies come off their line before the ball is kicked, clear as day.
Didn't think either were allowed?

Carl re the peno 'delayed' runs, the implemenation of that seems to be rarely used as far as I can tell.

Neither are allowed.
Keeper can move along his line all he wants before the pen is taken, but he cant move forward (or jump forward) until the pen has been kicked. Although I think a lot are getting away with it as are jumping forward and not stepping off the line.
And you cant do what Ronaldo does all the time and stop half way through the run up, not sure why this never gets picked up on though.

its a joke, its clear to see on both counts. The keepers that come off their line usually do a lot better, gives them a massive advantage.

As a great man once said:
If he's not interfering with play what's he doing on the pitch?
