Have you ever reffed a game? And tried to decide these things? It sounds simple, but it's a bit harder in real life.

Let's say a player is in an offside position on the left wing, but the ball is played late to a player on the right wing, and he scores. Hasn't the offside player on the left played some role in distracting the goalie? But plenty of goals are scored with players in an offside position, but legitimately so. But there are plenty of judgement calls.

It's like when people say "hand ball" is "really simple". No, it's not. **** off. It's called completely differently on the circumstances.

Even your own definition accounts for this: "in the opinion of the referee"... In what world does that not call for interpretation?
