Believe it was one of the laws under discussion for change so that it would not be necessary for a goal kick or a free kick to leave the penalty area.

Interfering with play is defined as touching the ball so unless he touches the ball he is not intefering with play (according to the definition in the offside law).

That is such a stupid rule. It seems very contradictory too, You can't be offside in your own half but can commit an offside offence in your own half whilst not being offside at the time you commit the offside offence
It's like saying that if a foul occurs outside of the penalty area, but momentum carries someone into the box, even if it takes several paces before the player falls over after contact (after the foul has taken place) then it should become a penalty.

But a player blocking the goalkeepers view/path from an offside position position is deemed offside even if they don’t touch the ball aren’t they ?

Which game was that then?
When we kicked off second half the ref delayed it briefly and Murray was half way to their penalty area when the kick off actually happened. Ref had his back to him so didn’t notice.
Surely they could get in the way and make a defender change course to get past and thus delay him being able to clear the ball without actually touching the ball themselves. Surely that is interfering with play.
I’d never make it as a ref!
Leicester. Kayal committed the foul (sort of - he appeared to pull out of the challenge and the player was already throwing himself to the ground). Vardy scored the penalty.

i have been saying that for years as it avoids the chance to cheat as happens now,
Always amazes me the ignorance of players and supporters alike.
Even had a discussion with a mate over the 10m mark on the goal line away from the corner quadrant. Which for the thick ones is not 10m from the flag!!
Well you’re stupid, I tell thee.
Please show me defined evidence of that rule.
The first offence takes precedence.
The only action that can be taken is if dangerous play occurs, the player can be booked/sent off but the restart is the offside.

Laws. Football has laws, not rules.
In an offside position blah blah and interfering with play OR the opposition ability to play the ball.
Interfering with play
"playing or touching the ball passed or touched by a team-mate"[1]
Interfering with an opponent
"preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
challenging an opponent for the ball or
clearly attempting to play a ball which is close to them when this action impacts on an opponent or
making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball"[1]
Gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has
"- rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar, match official or an opponent

I actually knew that as I said it to someone today. But didn't type it. Epic fail.
So wrong i’m afraid the law is the heading the rule is the detail as per the rule book.
Old saying I know but the truth is it is incorrect.
That's what I'd have said too, but someone posted a link where it stated that a foul committed against an offside player is still a foul. I don't know where to find it.
Rules is fine, it's part of our language. It doesn't matter what FIFA or the FA choose to put as the heading in their book, rules is just an English word to describe something.
Maybe Leicester?
Yes, it's all very odd. I suppose it's because to commit an offside offence two things have to happen; you have to be in offside position and attempt to play the ball but the two things can be several seconds apart and happen in two places on the pitch. Therefore it's deemed that the offence occurs once you have completed both actions and is given where the second action takes place.
Taken from the link below:
'A player in an offisde position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence'
