Change that stupid ****ing retarded offsides rule. Make the penalty box the "blue line", like hockey, and be done with it. ![]() ![]() To be honest, the offside rule is the same as the blue line, but the line moves between the halfway line (behind which it is impossible to be offside) and the last defender, wherever s/he may be on the pitch. That's why the linesmen have to have certain fitness levels, because they and the ref have to constantly move with play and anticipate what will (might?) happen. So it's an element of the game always in the back of the minds of both teams - attackers need to time their runs to get behind the defence, and the defenders need to decide whether to move up and catch the attackers offside, or follow the runner because they know one of their teammates will play them onside. An extra tactical dimension without which the game would end up with a goalhanger recruited from basketball/Spurs being marked by two defenders at the edge of the box and having no impact on the game unless the ball was near them, having been hoofed up at the earliest opportunity. It would take away the value of being able to pass or dribble through the midfield, and would reduce footballers to one of three kinds: keepers, enormous attackers, and equally enormous defenders who were able to hoof the ball straight at their attacking teammates. Six a side, maybe? |
