Correct dohnut. You want to see the rows at kids games as the parents don't understand the rules! To be fair Thor the laws covering this are hugely confusing and modifications over the years haven’t simplified them. And I can understand what you say having refereed football for a long time with helpers running the lines. Though it’s some years since I kept up with the laws, This dinosaur is probably out of date. |

The one law I'd change is the offside one, it's too complicated, keep it simple. I get it and understand it fully, but most don't. We now see VAR people being given offside for their big toe being in front, that's not offside it should be a clear differential between the players, not big toes or armpit hair!

From memory a big toe constitutes offside but hands don’t! Maybe wrong. All too confusing. Must be a simpler solution, glad I don’t referee now. Don't have the energy to keep up to date any more. |

Just say the highlights. Jeez, that was a bad miss with the header by their guy in the first half. Worse than I thought.He literally had the whole goal and was just about to reel away to celebrate |

I thought we'd beat Charlton, lose to Pompey but beat Bolton based on the last game a few weeks ago.
What we are doing now is what we did last season, clean sheets, resilience, hard work and effort and some good football at times. It's game on now for any team we face.

The offside rule as applied by var is ludicrous. When you have to make a geometric calculation and draw vertical and parallel lines to calculate if a player is a centimeter offside it makes a nonsense of the game.
It is simple enough to amend , firstly stop the idiotic calculation of any part of your body you can score from being the operative factor. It should be where your feet are placed.
By analogy, whether you have committed a parking offence or not is not determined by where your bonnet is it’s where your wheels are.
Again there must be a clear gap between the attackers feet and the defenders to make the attacker offside,I would suggest a min of 12 inches.

Again there must be a clear gap between the attackers feet and the defenders to make the attacker offside,I would suggest a min of 12 inches. The offside is not applied by VAR. The decision is made by referee and assistant with VAR providing additional information. VAR does not make any decisions. People do. The issue with offside, whether it’s a big toe, hand or any given distance is that in a moving, fluid, situation there will always be opinion. VAR just helps in making the right decision, hopefully. Having been in the position to make offside calls I can say it’s bloody difficult when players are moving whilst the ball is being kicked, often some distance to the player potentially in an offside position. Mistakes will be made. Officials in the main get it right. But not always. if you can judge 12 inches in a moving game you are a better man than I Gunga Din. I’m willing to bet I got a fair few calls wrong. As a referee I just called it as I saw it, no bias, no favours. Thats the best you can do. That and cop a deaf-un. |
