WEB
SITES
FIFA
web site
Laws of the Game section of the web site includes (when it works) a
Flash version of the offside law which is well worth a look.
BBC
web site
An attempted explanation of "interfering with play". Quite
useful.
The
offside rule explained
A simple (if slightly annoying) animated feature on the offside rule.
Quite good at explaining the basics but you will also need to
understand more about the FIFA definition of "active play"
as the feature is weak on this aspect of the rule. Also can take a
while to download.
FIFA
Fair Play code
All of our leagues subscribe to the code
of fair play. Find out the details on the FIFA web site.
