If you were an AR or the center Referee, what calls would you make on the plays?

1. The forward who is in the offside position does not become active,
he does not play the ball,
and neither does he challenge his opponent.

2. The defender deliberately plays the ball first, so the forward is entitled to play it.
He does not challenge his opponent until the defender has played it.

4. Vancouver's number [7] seven is in an onside position,
while number [11] eleven is in an offside position and both are pursuing the ball.
The AR should wait and see who plays it before raising his flag.
Number 7 plays the ball and the AR incorrectly raises his flag.
Fortunately the Referee over-rules him and play is allowed to continue.

5. The attacker is in an offside position when ball is played by a teammate,
but the ball is then deliberately headed by a defender which means the attacker cannot be offside.

6. The defender deliberately plays the ball first, so the forward is entitled to play it.
He does not challenge his opponent until the defender has played it.
