The Offside Rule

[The Situation]

So much easier to interpret years ago, these days even the players and officials don't know what's offside and what isn't.

What a fucking farce it has turned into.

No-one really knows the offside rule.

Fact.

Aye, it's now impossible to describe with just the use of condiments.

And there in lies the biggest problem with the current rule.

Are you watching Villa v Arsenal? If proof was ever needed.

Players and TV pundits have always been ignorant about this LAW along with the other 16.
The officials certainly do understand it.

They are just shit at "interpreting" it

It's no better now than it ever was; in fact the striker's should get benefit of the doubt, so it is, in fact, better.

'Interfering with play' was always a rule, just we didn't have sky-boys gurning about it every week.

All this second phase bollocks is the problem, and the whole obstruction arguement.
