A midfielder attempts to pass the ball to an attacker who is in an offside position, a few metres from a defender. The defender, who has noticed the attacker, moves towards the ball and instinctively blocks the pass, so that the ball goes out for a corner kick.
What is the correct decision if the attacker did not attempt to play the ball and did not impact the defenderโs ability to play it?

A defender takes a throw-in and throws the ball to their goalkeeper (a team-mate). The goalkeeper controls the ball with their foot outside their penalty area and notices that an attacker is running quickly towards the ball, so the goalkeeper dribbles into the penalty area and then picks the ball up with their hands.
What is the correct decision?

An attacker is in an offside position when their team-mate makes a long pass towards them. However, the ball does not reach the attacker, as it is intercepted by a defender. The defender controls the ball with their feet, moves a few metres and touches the ball several times.
After that, the attacker, who was in an offside position, runs to the ball, tackles the defender and gains possession without committing a foul.
What is the refereeโs decision?

While taking a throw-in, a player holds the ball in front of them (partially above their head) and throws it onto the ground (the ball does not start its movement from behind the head).
What is the decision if the ball enters the field and goes to the throwerโs team-mate?
