Except he wasn’t. Even Pep thought it was offside ��*
Pep was being gracious.
The whole POINT of offside is to stop players goalhanging. But its morphed into this ridiculous scenario now where your're offside if your left bollock flaps beyond the last defender. And now we have VAR, you're quite literally counting pixels. Ridiculous.
When I come to power, the offside law will dictate that there must be clear daylight between the attacker and the last defender. If its level, he's on. If its marginal, he's on. If he's half a yard forward, if there's daylight, he's offside. That will take us back to the spirit of the law. Not trying to decipher if someones KNEE was offside when it was played ffs.
um bongo molongo

Ah now if we’re if we’re talking about the rules as we’d like them to be, then can I add to your “daylight” rule an instruction to refs that players do not have to wait for a ref to be ready to take a free kick (stop all this crowding the ref to argue), and play is not held up for substitutions - as soon as the number is held up play can continue, then the f*****s will get off the pitch quicker, with none of this shaking everyone’s hand and doing a lap of honour before getting to the touch line.
The rules are being changed because of VAR, not sure that was what was agreed when it came in.
But... he was offside. There needs to be a definitive definition of offside. The rules are clear and fair. Good call by VAR.

Agreed. I'd also bring in the "free pass" rule that they have in hockey, whereby if there's a foul, you don't even have to pass the ball or shoot, you can just get up and immediately dribble with the ball.
That'd certainly train defenders minds straight away and stop any arguments with the ref over the decision. They wouldn't have time.
