Another offside rule

https://www.skysports.com/football/n...ton-villa-game
Too much tinkering with the rules.

The authorities are trying to make the game fairer and simpler but it’s just getting more complicated and more unjust every day.
Why don’t they just go back to square one.

Off/On side
No player in an advanced position of last defender no of this interfering of not debate. Also need to have a clear gap in the torso area, not toe or fingernail.

Handball
Deliberate hand moving towards ball or knowingly obstructing flight of ball. I’d even suggest hand ball only for hand and forearm and not above elbow.

I agree with much of this, certainly that of reverting to the old handball rule. With regard to the offside rule I wouldn't go back to the original rule of wherever you are on the pitch relating to the play is offside but certainly there should be be a gap between defender and attacker for an offside decision to be made.
