It is indeed absurd. I kind of hate myself for knowing the new rules too! Even worse is how subjective it is. What is a deliberate playing of the ball and what is a deflection? A deflection is the same phase of play but playing deliberately is a new phase....Originally Posted by Yeats 62
A new phase of play, in a micro-second? That's a new one on me, but..I'm sure you are correct, I got bored, and can't keep up with all the ridiculous changes ages ago.
Can we just play a forward nowadays in an advanced position then, waiting on a defender to attempt to play the ball, and if they do get a clip then the new phase plays them onside? It's obvious you know the new rules, but FFS....what's happening to the game???
I gie up ...
I long for the days of the clear daylight between forward and last defender rule. Took away all the nonsense of interfering with play, phase of play, shirt sleeve zone etc. Everyone new where they stood....and indeed where they should not stand!
Honestly, when I am not forensically dissecting offside rules I am genuinely a fun person.......just ask any of the lads at the stamp collecting club
