Offside or not? Flip a coin! [View all]
Here's a commemorative 50 pence coin issued by the Royal Mint for the 2012 London Olympics that tries to simply and clearly illustrate the offside law.
Except that it's wrong. Law 11 expressly states that it is not an offense to be in an offside position. Unless Triangle is involved in active play (merely being in an offside position in an area of active play doesn't cut it), then Triangle is not offside.
