Why not abolish the offside rule?

As the game seems to be heading towards a non contact/tackling sport we could indeed get rid of the offside rule and have goal attackers and goal defenders who all have to wear big knickers and short skirts.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

What about defence helmets and baseball bats?

I like the knickers and skirt idea too - but they need to be pink or baby blue coloured!

It's worth a try just to see how the game would pan out. With an even number of players on each side, there is a man to mark for everyone so why the need for the the offside rule? it is the most contentious issue in the game and causes the most trouble.

I understand that this has been tried by FIFA at younger level tournaments (heard that a couple of years ago in a football debate which discussed offside mistakes by refrees) and this was not conclusive at all as each team would keep a maximum of players in their own half and only a couple attacking in the opponent's half. So attackers were always hugely outnumbered and the game sort of stood still.

For me technology is important in 3 cases only, goal line, offside and penalty box decisions, basically the main match deciders. If that's too much, i would keep the first 2 cases and use the official behind the post for the penalty box decisions.

There was a time when I was against technology as I enjoyed the controversy after matches but not any more, it gets boring and repetitive these day with so many incompetent match officials. The time is right to bring in technology to decide at least the major problems such as offside. The referee can control the match and give the majority of the calls but those contentious decision, technology needs to call those.
