No, it's the positions of the players relative to each other that is relevant. The direction the ball travels in, is irrelevant. Ie. if player A cuts the ball back, then player B runs back from a position ahead of player A to collect the ball, player B is offside.

 

Apologies, you are correct. Didn't actually consider that scenario!

No problem. I was starting to doubt myself there when everyone started piling on!

Here's a blog from a Dutch ref about the irrelevance of the direction the ball travels in:

You learn something new every day.

Well, considering a new scenario anyway. I’d never thought of it that way before.
