heh, van Basten wants to scrap the offside rule. Typical coming from a striker...

Although his "to make the game entertaining" reason is complete bullshit though. Football is the most popular sport in the world.... don't fix what isn't broken....

You remember when you were at school on the field at lunch and there was always this one kid who would hang about near the opposition keeper waiting for the ball just in case it's kicked up to him?



Hmm, pie.

It's not the first time he suggested that change. Thankfully that won't happen.

Yep that's a strange reason, football is already entertaining. Maybe he thinks this would mean more goals = more entertainment but I don't agree with that at all.



I think a lot of these people that suggest these changes just have huge egos, and want to throw a load of shit at the wall, hoping something sticks, so their ego can be fed. They can become the person who changed football.

Depending on interpretation, it could be. If those 4 players who were in an offside position, even if they didn't touch the ball, were perceived to be in a way interfering with the keeper because of their presence in that position, it can be counted as offside.

... this is an example of what bullcrap the offside rule has become. Was so much easier when it was "don't be between the last defender and keeper when the ball is played forward". In the case above it would be offside, everyone would know it's offside and the discussion would have ended.

 

 

So Fonte looks like he might move for £10mil to West Ham. Like what? His big money move was never going to happen in the summer because it was pure speculation now he's taking a side step for the money?... sorry his agent is getting a nice sign on fee bonus.

He could have become a Saints legend but players and their agents ...



Hmm, pie.

No one allowed to talk to the ref except for the captain. And with strict penalties. (unless of course you want to warn the ref about an injury or something, which don't exist in football)
Kick-in instead of throw-in.
A yellow card needs to be changed into a 5 minute removal from the play (or something alike)
Playtime needs to be playtime. Time stops when the play stops.

I'm aboard those rules. Enough with the sentiment and ego's.



They are turning football into an american sport
