Two things would happen if this rule was abolished.
1) Argyle would be the greatest team in the world. Our long ball skills simply dwarf everyone elses.
2) Ruud van Nistelrooy would be worth an exceptional amount of money.

The current offside rule gives me brain damage when I try to think about it, I simply can't understand what is going on when I watch sometimes.
What on earth is the point of it? Old-style offside was fine for me but it would be interesting to see what would happen with none at all.

Nothing better than watching Henry in his prime take the pi55 out of the opposition's offside trap with a run that had perfect timing and trajectory.
A slow witted full-back ruining a teams attempt at springing the offside trap often allows for some pretty good goals.

How the hell is this man FIFA president. Why has no one credible come forward as an opposition and why is the voice of the man on the terrace not being heard. :twisted:

This is all a myth. The Offside Law is now clearer than it has ever been (in it's written form anyway). It now tells you exactly what is and what's not interfering with play and simply being on the field of play isn't one of them.
Coaches don't like the law as it is now because over the years they came up with this thing called the offside trap. In theory now, the offside trap can't work as effectively as it once did and coaches haven't found a way around the new law that would work reliably.

Such a joke, the tactics of the game will be changed all together. All the strikers will sit on the 18 yard box, pretty much everyone is going to have to be man marked. It initially sounds like it could make the game more exciting but it would just be dreadful.
The offside rule was a big improvement to the game. I wish all these poncy 'decision makers' would just leave the bloody game alone and fudge orf.

Can't see an abolition of the offside rule coming into being,but if the lawmakers wanted to dilute the offside influence,how about two lines across the pitch,one in each half from touchline to touchline and with the lines touching the apex of the D on the edge of each penalty area.In other words,you could only be offside in the 20 odd yards between tthe apex of the D and the byline.Would certainly open the game up,maybe worth an experimental match.

You're havin' a giraffe aintcha Lundan innit.
Well, at least I thought you were until I started to type out the old offside laws about 2 defenders (including the keeper), ball being played towards the defending goal by a team member, etc., etc.
The old laws were certainly the easiest to understand from the terraces though, especially if you happened to be in line with the defenders.

It has already been experimented a long while back in what was called the Watney Cup. The 18 yard line was extended to each touchline and you could only be offside in those 18 yards from the goaline.
