I think a lot of us have no idea what the laws are since the commentators have no clue and say things like oh body first never a pen when that might not be in the laws at all.

When studs changed from mostly round to the current “blades” the injuries went up. Shocking that in search of more traction a player’s foot would get stuck.

Not sure why you got downvoted for being right.

Man I am getting old. Growing up in the US I honestly don’t remember even being called offside.

I am for this change 100%. Yes it just moves the lines and you will still have the same “1 inch offside” but at least then we can all look at it and said you’re fucking off! Right now it goes against everything I grew up playing g and officiating which was “even” is onside. Anyway complaining about this would complain about any change to any rule.

To answer your question is it affects everyone and no one. the teams that play a low blow will still do it. the teams that play a high line will still do it. they just adjust slightly. People are acting like players and coaches cannot adapt.

Robbo came out of no where.

Take a look at his previous years before Liverpool.

100% they will be sued. If they lose or not is totally up in the air.

I totally disagree with you. Yes it moves the lines and there will still be that debate of “oh come on he is an inch off!”. I am ok with that. There has to be that “line” somewhere.

But today goals are called back that 100% never be called back when I played for 40 years. I grew up with “even is on” and it just feels dirty sometimes of goals currently called back.

Win win for me. People still get to argue over the line which has to be somewhere and if a goal is called back then so be it. Probably should be offside.

Klopp and Pep are going to start playing low blocks.

Problem is if you take away VAR we go back to the same morons completely missing blatant red cards or penalties and everyone will bitch about that.

It is a lose lose. We can only hope the process and decisions get better over time.
