But that is absolutely farcical
That is ludicrous.

We all know that offside has always been called if a pass is being played in the “offside” players direction.......since when has that player had to touch the ball to be offside....never!?

An offside comes into play at the nano second the ball leaves the passing players foot dependent on the intended recipient/s of said pass.

Or has something changed that I don’t understand?
