Thanks for the explanation Talksaft but I presume it also means:-

If he gathers a ball last played by his own side (including himself) he can't pick it up.

What I find irritating about the new offside rule is that a player in an offside position then moves back onside before the ball is passed to him then remains offside during that particular attack. I've seen it given when the ball is passed to someone else and the lino flags offside against a player who isn't even in possession.
