Abstract
This essay follows the controversies surrounding the disputes and negotiations over the meaning of the ‘new’ offside law, as well as the practical resolutions carried out on the pitch by referees, assistant referees, managers and the players themselves. It defends the argument that the meaning of the offside rule cannot be decided beforehand, mainly regarding its wordings since 2003, but instead at the very time in which the game is being played.
