Whatever the offside rule is, it's not as "clear as day". It appears to be open to massive interpretation over the word 'active'
I think agreeing to disagree is the best course of action?` We somehow managed to get a valuable point.

The rule very clearly says if you're fouled when you're running towards the ball then it's a penalty, even if you were in an offside position. Youre only offside if you actually get there.
Honestly I'm starting to think you're winding me up
And thats what I thought until I was proven wrong. If fouled whilst attempting to go for the ball in an offside position then the foul stands.
The offside rule itself is not as clear as day the ruling regarding this incident is as clear as day.
You don't get to choose what "Active" means, it's defined as playing the ball
The only confusion is people choosing to interpret "Active" in their own terms
That's not how laws work

You haven't pasted the first part of Law 11:
Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
interfering with an opponent by:
preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
challenging an opponent for the ball or
clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
Surely he was active by challenging for the ball? There is no mention of "taking a swing" (or have you added this?). If the balls in the air how do you "take a swing". It only mentions "close"
It's when your workplace is in Germany
(nah doesn't really work does it, I'll try again later)
Does every prick from aftv film themselves during the game? Imagine holding your phone up the whole game, nonsense. Eveything for bit of money.
He didn't get a chance to challenge for the ball as he was fouled well before the ball got there, that's the entire point of bullet 2 in the bit I posted. Otherwise if running towards the ball counted as active that whole section would be entirely redundant
A few opinions on the game -eriksen is turning into Ozil
If the linesman correctly flagged for Kane’s pen it would have been interesting if Taylor had correctly interpreted the rules I doubt he would have
There pen was never a pen
How fucking shite were the gooners winning 1-0 away in a NLD and not a peep
Sissoko man of the match cos he was our midfield no one else there wanyama a shadow of his former self

It's modern day football i'm afraid, but these lot are certainly the worst of the worst.
No it's when i is in an offside position...
What does this mean. If you're running towards a cross 3m in the air, surely you're playing the ball?
I always thought this but do you rememebr the Wimmer own goal a couple of years back, he headed the ball as a player behind him (offside) was going for it - goal given.
I agree. I don't remember the incident but more interpretation.
If this is what we're in for with VAR...
No, playing the ball means kicking it, heading it, chesting it etc.
Take Erkisen's free kick. Offside is judged when the ball is played, right? We all know that and use that term. What does that mean though, when he starts his run up or when he actually kicks it? Everyone knows it's the latter, when he actually kicks it, but you're advocating for it being when he starts his run up.
Plays the ball means touches it.
