New proposed offside rule

Status
Not open for further replies.
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.
When you can be offside because you wear a size 11 boot rather than a 10 it's just a farce.
 

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.

Wenger needs to koff with these crap rules.
 
May as well just job offside off.

In its current guise it is not doing what it is what intended to do. It was there to stop players goal hanging, not to punish strikers for a being a pube offside.

He's hated throw-ins ever since Delap handed him his arse in a game all those years back with his incredible long throws

Sour faced toss-pot should be told to do one

I always think that some of these ex pro's/mangers etc, that come up with stuff that they think are good, are so ridiculous.

Same stuff for me with saying ex pro's would be better refs just because they played footie-it means nothing and they would fav certain teams even though they say they wouldnt,

also when Refs went full time that was suppose to make them better etc, we could go on about little bits

Throw ins....good idea...

Offside...Wenger is on to something with this as I think this could work...

I remember when if you were level you were onside, you were not offside unless there was daylight between you & the defender...so yes the offside proposal does have some merit...

Corners...Disagree...if it's out its out...

Free kicks.....yes why not...as long as you play to the whistle...
 
Put a small transmitter chip on the back of each player's shirt, up near the neck. Use these to transmit player's positions to the VAR in order to draw the lines. Each player is then measured by the center "bulk" of their body and not by a shirt sleeve or finger or shoe-lace. I'm certain the technology is available to do this (?). Does anyone know? People put all sorts of small tracking devices on wild life, so it seems that this is possible.

I think this is the only reasonable way to make VAR offside calls right, if they're going to use technology like VAR to make the game accurate then it probably needs technology like trackers to help make it accurate, just like goal line technology is used to help determine if it's a goal, that's another thing that only certain leagues can have as it's expensive

Never a rule. People keep stating the daylight rule. It never existed.
 

Moons ago, somebody suggested ‘get rid of offside’.

Just gave them a look of contempt.

Years down the line, things have got worse, not better, with interpretation of interpretation, and I’m beginning to wonder whether it’s no so daft after all. It would mean the end of the done to death and exhaustive formations that we’ve all become used to, and put an end to the infernal whinging of the Klopps of this world when looking to pass the buck on their poor play/formations.

Imagine it: goal-hang away, but think of the gaps it would leave elsewhere!

I think that in light of a prospective major change ahead for the adult game - I’m thinking here in terms of heading and it’s considered consequences - whether the authorities should consider other major bones of contention while they’re at it, such as addressing the age-old issue of ball-to-hand or hand-to-ball in the penalty area. If indeed headers remain, perhaps players should have to jump with their arms tight to their bodies (new skills would have to be learnt); I’m sure there are many other matters that could be reviewed while they’re about it.

I for one, would like to see an end to passing backwards; in effect, the opposite to the rule in rugger of passing forwards. Imagine a Pep’s side passing out from the back without being able to pass it backwards?

Perhaps, in itself, it would present other bones of contention e.g. was it a pass back or did it just rebound off the player? And perhaps it would just become stop/start like Rugby or that bloody awful grid-iron stuff, but I think if the awarding of a yellow card for persistent offenders was sanctioned (this could be done retrospectively as per the collation of instances for stats) it would soon put paid to the transgressors (I’m thinking of the cheats over the Park, here) and in time the game would adjust.

Perhaps too much too soon? Maybe, but I have to admit that the game is becoming a little staid. Whatever the case, the odd tweak here and there wouldn’t harm and might even enhance it?

I’d deffo start with the ‘no passing back’ rule.
 
Wonder what a historical reassessment of the great goalscorers like Law, Greaves and even Dean would come up with by applying current offside laws?
 
Fine words butter no parsnips (...I aways put gravy on mine but anyway...)
They can say what they like, I'll wait and see how it plays with our Reffs...who are collectively poor...and take their interpretation of any 'fine words' from what the PL thinks is best for the sky 6 and the ratings.
And then proceed to 'K it up and make it worse
