this has got to be one of the best explanation for how the offside rule works. copied and translated from here:
you're in a shoe store and are in second place in the line. behind the cashier are a pair of shoes that you've seen and absolutely must have.
the female customer ahead of you has also seen the shoes and wants them. both of you have forgotten your purses.
it would be rude to push your way through if you didn't have any money to pay the shoes with.
the cashier is standing and waiting.
your friend is trying on a pair of shoes further into the store and sees your problem.
she prepares to throw her purse to you.
if she does, you can catch the purse and then go past the customer ahead of you and buy the shoes.
your friend can throw the purse in front of the other customer and when the purse is in the air you can run past the customer ahead and catch the purse and buy the shoes.
BUT you must always remember not to be in front of the woman who is ahead of you before the purse is thrown, because then you are OFFSIDE!
easy as that!
