Offside confusion
by Rampage @ Tuesday, Jun. 10, 2008 - 15:26:47

Apparently the first Holland goal last night was perfectly valid - even though Panucci was lying injured off the field of play, in no way participating in the game, this was still enough to make Van Nistelrooy onside.

Isn't this odd? There is a specific rule that an attacker can be considered to be 'not interefering with play' and therefore not offside, yet when a defender is clearly not interefering with play he is still considered to be part of the game.

Such a stupid, stupid rule.

And yes, this post is motivated almost fully by bitterness in its purest and most vitriolic form.

He lay on the ground, pretending to be hurt, watching the game!

The sooner players get back to playing football and stop auditioning for Casualty/Holby City the better!

I think the Rule is great!!!! Otherwise all the Mancs and Chelski players would dive off the pitch crying to prevent goals!

Well that was their reasoning for introducing it.

However to me it seems that there is a pretty clear difference between a player stepping off the field and a player getting punched in the face and falling off the field.
