[Albion] Gross goal offside?

[alanfp]

Why not scrap the offside rule, like some other sports have done (notably hockey).

... at least trial it and see how it plays out.

Large attacking player stands in front of the goalkeeper at all times during the match to obstruct their view as teammates pepper the goal with shots.

That’s what I would be telling my players to do if the offside laws was scrapped.

Good point!
I don't know if that's a problem in hockey - I guess it isn't... Anyone know

Only teasing you; I should have added a smiley. I hope you had a good night’s sleep.

It's all good - I took it in the spirit intended.

Imagine how shit you'd feel if your sole job in a game was basically being a human wall.

Isn't that the job of most of the players on an American Football team?

I just don’t understand why that took so long for VAR to figure out. Once the lines were drawn it seemed pretty clear. But must have been 4-5 minutes between ball hitting the net and decision being made.

Fitted some adverts in for the overseas broadcasters?

When we score we celebrate, if it then goes to var and is ruled to be a goal we celebrate again so that’s quite fun!

Plus the opposition having goals chalked off gives us something to celebrate

You can't have that as it would mean our keeper is man-marked and so would totally destroy our fannying around at the back style of play.
