Specific circumstances shall dictate the Referee's call. For example, a Referee might decline to consider a player offside if he/she was making a run that resulted in being in an offside position by two or three steps.

The restart is subject to rules applicable to an indirect free kick. The ball will be considered in the penalty area if, on the fly, it lands anywhere within or breaks the plane of the line enclosing the penalty area and then lands therein or is touched therein by a player from the opposing team.
