I will say than even 40 yards out, I've seen breakaways from that far which resulted in a very good chance at goal.

I honestly don’t understand what you’re trying to say? Maddison didn’t run from his own half, and there is no running from your own half rule.

You cannot be offside if you are in your own half when the ball is played, but even if you start the run in your own half, once in the opposing half if you’re offside when the ball is played, you’re offside regardless of where the run started.

The second sentence is a statement of the obvious?
