Does offsides reset ever touch?

[GrantFrosty]

Player A is in an Onside position when a teammate plays the ball. it DEFLECTS (not deliberate played) Off Team B player, When it hits off Team B player A Is now in an offside potion because they were the timing their run with the pass, is this offside still? I think No because offside is when the ball is played.

Correct, answered your own question. It’s when the ball is played. The deflection / deliberate play would only come into it to determine if there was an offside infringement when the ball was originally played.

Wait, what team is Player A on?

 

[CraigRef]

Player is onside as he was onside when the ball was played by his own team mate in the first instance

Player is onside as he was onside when the ball was played by his own team mate in the first instance

"A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalized on becoming involved in active play..." (Emphasis Mine). That's 11.2. So it is materially important to know what team Player A is on. In other words, who did the ball deflect off of -- a teammate or an opponent?

opponent....(team b)

 

[RyantheRef]

opponent....(team b)

Well, the OP doesn't say which team Player A is on, hence why I asked.
