I think it is unreasonable to expect an attackeing player to look 30 yards along the line and realise the tip of his elbow is offside.. It needs to be about the player making the judgement he is on or off and currently he cannot. We have frame issues, margin of error on top the pace of the game.

The rules need a little tweak imo. Either (as mentioned by Souness) fi any part of the player is on side he is still on side or it's feet only. Either would reduce the incidents somewhat, I prefer the Souness one.
Your elbow can't be offside.
Souness etc are just moving the lines somewhere else.
 
Q2: Are a player’s arms/hands considered as part of the player’s body when judging offside?
The hands or arms are not included when judging offside position; this is true for all players including the goalkeepers. This view is supported by and helps assistant referees throughout the world as it is often difficult to identify the exact position of the hands and arms.

so it is difficult to identifly the exact position of the hands and arms when calling offside but not the rest of the body which causes a player to be offside.
coz it’s Christmas, lets play A game of charades to form an opinion on that FA statement.

there in a bag between your legs and are useless once you have had a vasectomy.
 
Spurs fans sing 'Harry Kane he's one of our own' as he limps off having pulled his hamstring.

Meanwhile, VAR checks the Kane's 'goal' scored as he injured himself.

VAR rules offside.

Saints fans sing 'VAR he's one of our own' ???

Mourinho's then gets booked ???

if Carlsberg did New Year’s Day fixtures ?

Catheter?

Well both Wolves & Spurs fail to take advantage of our 1 point away to Brighton, now only Manure can close the gap, but they’re away to Arsenal, which is impossible to predict ?

Is the fixture list too much in this festive period, are there too many games in such a short period of time, especially when you think we start in August but don’t play any midweek games in that month ?

Nope.

Keep it as it is.

Rotate your squads and accept you may have issues along the way.

I like the xmas period fixtures, although no-one should have to play within 48 hours, a rest week should be in January after FA cup 3rd round, when everyone is skint.

Either get rid of all international friendlies, reduce them, or play all international fixtures in 5-6 week periods, so that the international managers have to "manage" their players (including rest periods).

BTW the "top six" clubs are shocking this year, sort yerselves out, be giving us a bad name. :cool:
 
The association rules football teams (or sides) don't necessarily follow our American naming protocol of.... city or region name / team nickname.
For example, I root for the Boston Red Sox baseball team and the New England Patriots (American) football team.
Thus, I'm not sure where all the PL teams call home.
I think that London has about four teams, but I don't know who they are. Liverpool and the two Manchester teams make it easier for us.

Certainly a lot of empty seats at City today - it is a lot of games over a short period but it’s always been that way and it’s great to watchn

I think we’re the only team/club that can say we’ve got a valid excuse for struggling, losing your best player and not being in any position to strengthen was always going to be a tough gig, so even though we’ve been seen to throw points away, we just don’t have the substance or stamina or a game changer to pull us through.

however, managing to punch above our weight for so long and be where we are, with a few good signings in this window , that’s if Frank gets those right, we could push on and secure our top 4 spot.
