New proposed offside rule

[Tipp blue]

WENGER'S RADICAL RULE CHANGES​

Throw-ins - Teams should be able to kick the ball back into play instead of throwing it back in, if they are inside their own half.

Offside - An attacker would not be offside if any part of their body with which they are allowed to score, such as a foot, head or shoulder, is in line with the penultimate defender.

Corners - Kicks which curve out of play and then back in again should be permitted.

Free-kicks - Players should be able to touch the ball to themselves to restart play, not be forced to pass to a team-mate.

There is 1 rule i want to see changed more than anything, that is, when a player goes down, medical staff can come onto the pitch without the game stopping, this will do 2 things,
1. stop players pretending to be injured to stop play as there would be no benefit and would actually work against your team.
2. If a player is actually injured the medical attention is there quicker.

If Arsene Wenger sorts this out, maybe then he could try to revamp the LWB rule?

I was initially in favor of VAR but seeing it in operation, it hasn't reduced the arbitrariness in calls, it's just made the arbitrariness more easy to see and talk about. They need either a non-arbitrary (or less arbitrary) system or just scrap VAR and go back to what we had.

It’s taking away some of the excitement for players and fans when a goal is scored! Even last night when Richarlison scored I was subdued in my little moment of excitement thinking was he offside or was there some kind of infringement in the box that might be picked up by VAR.

Yep, bit like Rugby that just carries on, and use to have me thinking how does anyone avoid running into medical people etc on the pitch lol

Mic the refs and have them explain their decisions like in Rugby league, that will stop ref bellendery when they comment such as ' you don't give a pen against Liverpool in the final minute of a game'

it wont happen as much as your side are being disadvantaged while you lounge around on the floor. Most 'injuries' are tactical to break up play/waste time

I would like to see the clock in the ground stopped for injured players. And the only added time should be for subs 30 seconds for each.
How much football is the paying fan actually watching over 90 mins? Little farts rolling around the pitch everytime there’s contact (Richarlison) being the worst.

This is like when they shrank the pads in hockey to promote scoring. I get it - they want to attract fans - but it doesn't seem to have worked out that well for the NHL.

It doesn't solve the "lines across the screen" problem. It just moves the goalposts.

I'm not a fan.

Some of those rule changes sound alright.

I just want VAR done away with forever, whether there's a chance of it happening or not.

I don't celebrate half of Everton goals any more. I'm not fully relaxed until the game's kicked off again, which is ridiculous. There's no way that's an improvement.

That has been the excuse used by fifa in various contexts over the years (ifab maybe?) To not implement certain rules changes.or interpretations.

Quite frankly, if we are going with radical changes, I question the need for an offside rule at all. If I'm not mistaken, at the time the rule was implemented, teams had a row of 9 forwards almost like rugby backs, one sweeper and a goalie.

I'm not saying it is the right solution or even worth doing, but I would certainly be interested to see how that would play out with top tactician and players.

The game changes massively without offside. Go watch Field Hockey for an example of how it might look.

That you could probably take if they didnt do Live, as long as they cant edit it to suit themselves to make something seem normal in a dodgy call lol

 

[No8Bally]

The more they fanny about with the game, the worse it gets.

 

[Connor]

It’s an absolute load of nonsense and would be even worse than what we have now

 

[Blueclouds]

So big question is can our defence handle this new rule
