gbandit Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 What are the rules, if part of the attacking player’s body is behind the defender’s body then they’re onside? I’m interested, we’ll see a lot more goals but a lot more VARs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 You’re just changing the line from being ahead of the attacker to behind him, as if it will solve anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Agree with Stifler tbh. Changing what constitutes to offside means they'll just be drawing stupid lines between the attackers trailing foot as opposed to their front foot/shoulder. Doesnt change anything in that respect. The offside law isnt the problem, its the woeful implementation of VAR, which you could argue is completely flawed anyway. Anyway the rule is fine as it is, if any part of your body that you can score with is offisde then you're offside. Nowt wrong with that. Stupid to now tell us that a player isnt offside because his trailing foot just so happens to be in line with a defenders knee when the ball is kicked. For all intents and purposes the attacker is offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 While that is technically correct, the spirit of the rule was never to stop perfectly good goals for the sake of a centimetre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all intents and purposes the attacker is offside. I know it wasn't officially the law, but wasn't the sort of accepted interpretation, 'unless there's daylight, he's onside'? VAR is hamstrung by a pathetic offside rule. If a player is caught offside with the new interpretation then it's easier to accept because the forward have more leeway and if they're still caught off then tough shit. This rule where you're offside just because you're leaning in a different direction is bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Police were firing tear gas into the crowd which forced a stampede at the back as people were fleeing. In this day and age, with the knowledge of history and things that have happened before, that’s pretty much murder committed by them. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Yep, another great day for cops using tear gas. I think in the future we’ll look back and wonder how it was ever seen as ok to use it on crowds of civilians. Edited October 2, 2022 by Kimbo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
