Wolves - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[WTF11]

To simplify the "offside" rule, and make it an easy decision for the Ref/VAR, why not introduce a simple understandable definition - ie - If Either foot, or part of a foot is beyond the last defender then you are offside. End of - no elbows, backsides, forearms above the sleeve, kneecaps etc etc etc - who could argue then?

Too obvious to ever happen though spose

Precisely.

The problem imo opinion is that everyone wants the offside rule to be clearly defined, I.e. Black & white for all to comprehend. However the reality is that it will always be a rule which needs those grey areas to allow common sense to prevail.

Regrettably the biggest problem with the offside rule, is club managers whom also cry blue murder if their is anyway at all of claiming a decision has gone against them. You never here anything g about the 100's of offside decisions that called correctly.
