Question Number: 17936

Law 11 - Offside 11/16/2007

RE: rec Adult

conrado castellanos of quail valley, california usa asks...

3 attackers and one is in offside position
there are 3 defenders in line one of the attackers take a shot at goal and one of the defenders deflects the ball right to the offside attacker is this offside?

Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson

If when the team mate TAKES his shot there is an offside positioned team mate who is from that moment restricted from further play, if that deflection of the ball off the opponent comes to him and he plays that ball, it is offside, INDFK out, gaining an advantage per law 11.
Cheers
