0 (in football/soccer, hockey etc) in a position (not allowed by the rules) between the ball and the opponents’ goal -- offside
1 (of a vehicle etc) on the side nearest to the centre/center of the road -- førerens side
The "offside rule" comment dealt with people's passion for sport, which applies especially to young people.
To borrow a term from the football field, it is offside.
We are trying to keep the goalposts where they were, but in this case the interpretation of the offside rule has been a complication.
Is it not possible to devise some form of guard which would prevent that wave going out on the offside?
The offside lane should be used for overtaking, whatever speed one is doing.
Additionally, rugby offsides rules and the lack of a forward pass significantly reduce the chance of a player receiving a blind-side hit (i.e. being hit and/or tackled from behind).
There is no other penalties in the game, making offsides and roughing the quarterback into workable strategies.
Rules such as offsides and icing are often not followed due to the difficulty in their regulation.
