Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season



But offsides are clearly subjective, as proven by the number of onsides which were previously flagged as offside, which was why the rule was changed.

It is infinitely easier to call an offside when stood on a gantry commentating, or watching on TV.
Of course it is, and as I said I understand the rule and the difficulties. Yet, that doesn't negate that some offside decisions are easy to call even for the officials.

If it's an obvious offside call, the emphasis should be on the linesman to flag it or that's my take on it. If there's any uncertainty, leave it.
