Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, June 29, 2005, 20:01:46 What a load of bollocks!! First time I've seen it at the confederations cup. The assistant doesn't put his flag up till the player touches the ball even if the player yards off.
Why do fifa have to keep messing with the rules? Why ruin change the beautiful game? Not sure what this rule is supposed to prove... Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: Whits on Wednesday, June 29, 2005, 20:06:12 i agree, complete waste of time
Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: Spud on Wednesday, June 29, 2005, 21:51:35 Yeah its a complete joke, if he's offside then put up the bloody flag!. Get rid of this stupid rule.

Why are they doing that? the only problem with that was refs didnt enforce it often enough Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, July 1, 2005, 10:48:37 Yep, getting rid of that rule is just an advert to tell players that they can shout all they like at the ref - it's a disgrace to scrap it I reckon.
Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: larwood on Friday, July 1, 2005, 10:57:41 I think they are getting shot of it because it was a rule they took from rugby
and they didn't understand it in places where rugby isn't played. Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: my-velocity on Friday, July 15, 2005, 17:17:24 Theres no point in waitng for him to touch the ball, if he's offside he's offside there we go.
Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: DV on Friday, July 15, 2005, 19:44:33 so if the ball is passed to a 30 yard offside player, if he doesnt touch the ball play continues....
So the defenders could stop because the offside guy is offside but another guy could come running on through and pick up the ball.... Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 21:46:46 Basically he could chase the ball making sure it doesn't go to a defender and if it does, 10 seconds later, it will be given?
Surely Mr Allerdyce wil be looking to take advantage of this rule in some way! Title: New Off Side Rule Post by: CARTMAN on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 22:38:27 as will mr van nistelrooy no doubt
