If he does not distract or prevent the defender from getting to the ball then it doesn't matter.
Given the information I've been presented with here, I can't see any way how the player in question could be penalised for offside under the current application of the law.
My issue is the whole "coming back onside". For me it shouldn't matter. If you were offside and you affect the immediate play then it should be called, regardless of whether or not you curved your run back onside first.
The issue then becomes what is the 'immediate play' and I guess I'm expecting a reasonable advantage, just like with any advantage played.
But as I said, that's how I think it should be. No idea if that is how the law works.
Cheers for the answers though.
Fair enough, it's not like the offside law has never had its controversies. But like I said, under the current application of the law and guidelines for the referees, I can't see how a player in the situation you've described can be penalised for offside.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Interesting end to the article when they say the "resulting penalty was converted". Why was there a penalty given when the foul was committed when the ball wasn't in play?
Its no longer a problem.

What`s the law when a defender takes a goal kick, passes it outside the box for the keeper to run out and collect it, and then bring it back into the box and picks it up, is that allowed?

It's not allowed. It used to be before the pass back rule, but would now be an ndirect free kick to the opposition.

Where would the indirect kick be taken from? Inside the box where the keeper picked the ball up?

Three for me, and two for them.
If the referee applies advantage during an obvious goalscoring opportunity and
a goal is scored directly, despite the opponent�s handling the ball or fouling an
opponent, the player cannot be sent off but he may still be cautioned.
Seems wrong to me.
