Shocking Refereeing Standard

[JC_GUFC]

You'd know it was school holidays around here!

[Weatherman]

That young linesman. his name escapes me, who lookes like torres and is almost a regular fixture down the carisle grounds is absolutly shocking! he ruled out quigley's goal for nothing almost and imo is always calling for fouls and giving offsides wrongly all the time.

here i was just being curious as to know if you knew the rule, which you have shown to not know fully ... as its the second last defender and also its not when the ball is played its when the ball is touched by your fellow player .. here but let you off being vague but here its fifa who got rid of the if you were offside you were offside and brought in this grey aera of being active or not and left it to the referees to make the decision as the sit back and make up the rules. Come on give them a break if you think you the fan can do better try it but as most i guess you will say NAH i prefer to give abuse

I know the rule. Perhaps I didn't explain it properly, but I do know it.

Anyway, on with the thread.

i was amazed at how bad a certain female official was when she was running the line at the Drogs-Rovers game. She was permanently out of position and seemed to be randomly guessing whether people were offside or not

[Réiteoir]

come on you know thats not true, offside was offside ask anyone in soccer thats what all the players and managers want it to go back to... a plain if a player is offside (inactive or not) then flag offside . no grey aera or anything.

here but thats my interpretation of it, and i am going with experience in the middle get asked(as well as abuse) by players and managers why that was offside and another isn't.

i know it like talking to a brick wall with most fans because you look for an easy target and 80% of time its the ref so enjoy the rest of your season and best of luck

1920: The following is introduced onto the Off-side Law 6.

Play should not be stopped and a player given off-side under Law 6 because the player is in an off-side position. A breach of the Law is only committed when a player who is in an offside position interferes with an opponent or with the play. ".
(Council of the Football Association 8th March).

So lads - who fancies reverting to the Law as applied in 1919?

would love it , so i dont have to listen to so much crap that comes out of fans mouths about offsides and back then it was the last three defenders which was even better or will we go back to the experimental GM Vauxhall conference of you couldnt be offside for a free kick that would be a great one to bring back

Too right, the kitchen was on the other side of the ground.
