If a keeper or a defender carries the ball and smacks it right into a defender, that negates an offside position no doubt. The way I see it, it was a block, not a play/pass the way the ball pinballed from a very hard shot from 10 yards. So by the way the rules are written I have no problem accepting that it was an offside. As long as it is enforced fairly and consistantly.Any time I actually look at the laws of the game, I always think they’re so badly conceived / written.
Why not just leave the wording as ‘deliberately played’? Being ‘in control’ of the ball and ‘deliberately playing it’ are two different things, and being ‘in control’ is much more vague and subjective. Then all the bullet points just make things even more vague and subjective.
Everyone would agree Tomiyasu ‘deliberately played’ the ball - end of.
