Falace - same rule for everyone. There’s an element of skill in aiming and hitting a hand and there’s a risk that the attacker may lose possession in doing so. Maybe if it’s an obvious attempt that misses, a pen is given the other way ( though there’s an element of interpretation in that so maybe not )

Westside - I reckon your man crosses the ball from the by line and is then out of play. If he isn’t out of play and the recipient of his pass then passes the ball forward then unfortunately yes he’s offside. If the recipient shoots at goal then the recipient isn’t attempting a pass so there isn’t an offside. Easy peasy lemon squeezy !

I think Arsene Wenger is on to something about his proposed offside rule - if any part of the player that the player can legally score with is onside then the player is onside.

Handball definitely needs fixing but im not sure you can just give penalties every time it strikes an arm, Liverpool and particularly Suarez when he was there used to just square someone up and kick the ball directly at their arm and appeal for a penalty, of course they got them more often than any other team would.
But if you just give a blanket handball regardless of intent you will have that happening almost every time, why wouldnt you just win a penalty instead of having to beat a man and find a teammate?

I agree with comments about offside and handball.
Interfering with play is too subjective. If you're beyond the final 2 players when the ball is played (actually beyond, by which I mean your torso is beyond the second last defenders torso with a clear gap between the two) then you're offside.
As for handball, if it hits you below the shoulder (upper arm, forearm, hand) whether accidental or not, it's handball, with onus on defenders to keep their arms out of the way.
Less ambiguity is required.

The one thing I was hoping VAR would do is stop diving. It hasn't. if a player dives, they still aren't getting carded for it.
I'd love to introduce a 6 game ban for diving - it would stop it overnight!
If game ends in a draw the team with the most English players gets the win. if that's also even, the team with the most whites.
3 subs can be used - however a 4th can be introduced as long as it is an under 21 who has spent minimum 4 years in your academy.

The key word in the law is OWN goal. It is saying if you take an indirect free kick and kick the ball into your own team's goal then it's a corner.

Offside - fuck the ‘interfering with play’ ambiguity off. If anybody is in an offside position when the ball is played then it’s offside.
So in a breakaway, one player gets to the byline, pulls the ball back. Other player then shoots (plays the ball), the player who pulled the ball back is offside. Want that blown?
Also see my post the other day, about the back pass rule and closing down goal keepers.

Offside - fuck the ‘interfering with play’ ambiguity off. If anybody is in an offside position when the ball is played then it’s offside. None of this pissing about with fractions of a millimetre either, if it takes a billion rewinds by Jamie fucking Redknapp to decide after half an hour the end of the attackers shoe lace is offside then it’s onside.
Handball - fuck the ‘ deliberate handball ‘ shit off. If it hits below the elbow it’s handball, no arguments, game can move on.
Took much of the game is open to interpretation. Get rid

Re: The Laws of Football

Another thing I would change is how injury time operates.
For example, if it is 5 minutes then it is 5 minutes exactly. This way, the referee does not use his discretion when allowing certain teams to keep attacking in case they score, while blowing up at other teams during a promising attack.
Also, the clock during injury time stops when the ball is out of play. This way, teams can't time waste.
I would also consider banning substitutions during injury time but this may not be necessary if the clock stops.

Can't remember the last time I saw an indirect free-kick given.
BTW, Tony Gale's scoring free kick against Liverpool in 1988 should have been indirect as it was given for dangerous play rather than a foul (Ronnie Whelan's high boot which grazed Dicks' head).

Re: The Laws of Football

Ronald, are you sure about that? You may be right, I just have a firm idea that if the referee determines that it was a deliberate shot, that in itself is an offense.
Remember Stuart Pearce in Italia 90, "scoring" right at the end of a game against Holland, with an indirect free kick. Everyone went potty, then realised it was indirect, not direct.

Here's a good one for you, does anyone remember the incident a few years back, when we were playing I think Astra Giurgio, in the Europa where one of their players after getting tackled, fell down outside the pitch, meanwhile play carried on but said player then rolled back onto the pitch, like the cunt he was

Quite sure.
It is confirmed here;
http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-13---free-kicks
I was surprised by this part of the law;
"if a direct or indirect free kick is kicked directly into the team’s own goal, a corner kick is awarded"

Re: The Laws of Football

No, it's a offence to be off the pitch without the ref's permission.
If this happens inadvertently they will usually turn a blind eye to it, but not in this situation.
Unless it's to West Ham's disadvantage. Probably.
