Next Steps: Rules & Regulations

I further read the "Laws of the Game 2005" which was last revised in July. The guidebook covers the 17 laws as well as associated information regarding assistant referees, additional instructions, as well as board procedures for members of the soccer associations. Most laws seem rather upfront, however some of the circumstances involved in "offsides" procedures are somewhat confusing. Moreover, most rules seem to have a rhythmic protocol, i.e. the throw-in, indirect free kick, and direct free kicks, are most often (excluding special circumstances) taken from where the last offense occurred, etc.

So, I guess I could say this: typically Im excellent at making things complicated, so this should be a pretty challenging task. (this is a sidenote: pictures are coming!)
