Andrew 7467 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Aye the offside rule is being more and more exposed by it imo (as are some others) we all know its been shite for years. Honestly as long as I can properly remember the offside rule has been badly worded and awkward to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If a toe is offside then it's offside ffs.How the fuck can a right decision be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 9338 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Because the offside rule was introduced to stop strikers camping out in the 6 yard box, 20yards behind the defensive line. Not to rule out goals because of a 1mm infraction 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39217 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It’s a binary state. You’re either offside or you’re not. He was offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 22474 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yes. The rules mention feet, but not individual toes. To all intents and purposes Lingard was level when the ball was played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39217 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Your argument is that toes aren't specifically referenced in the offside law? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 22474 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) If a linesman gives that as level with the naked eye last month would anyone have any complaints? Edited June 10, 2019 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39217 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 You would understand how he made the wrong decision but it would be the wrong decision nonetheless. It was only the Nations League, you'll get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 22474 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 It’s turning a sport even more into a science. Fuck that. The first time I’m waiting around 5 mins for a decision on a goal I doubt if I’ll be back. Won’t matter to ewerk. He gets his kicks from watching his mates run around a peat bog smashing dead hedgehogs in the air with sticks in that turbo nutter bastard hockey thing they play. Or the mad basketball/football nonsense with the rugby posts with football nets. And he’s got the temerity to lecture us about the rules & spirit go our national game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If you're off you're off. How can defences confidently play a high line if you're going to ignore people who are offside because it was only by a little bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the news sources that are congratulating Ronaldo on the second major trophy of his international career the league cup of international trophies, and even that is being kind. I would still have loved England to win it mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
