Is being trialed in the Canadian Premier League.

What a joke. The game is so gone if this ever comes in the EFL

Should have known this would be a huge overreaction.

I like that! Much better than the shit we have now where someone is offside cause a pube is offside.

It will be no different. Someone will be offside when there's a gap the size of a pube between the back of the forward and the front of the defender.

And how do you judge that when one leans one way and one the other? Eg there's a gap between necks, arm pits, knees? What's the rule?

Not sure how that is any worse to the current rule, both have arbitrarily decided on what part of a body does or does not constitute being offside.

I would rather there be a clear rule than the fucking drawing lines to measure a striker's foreskin bullshit that is seen in the Prem nowadays.

Solves none of the problems of measuring, just gives the striker an advantage.

Jamie Reid would be great under these rules.

Exactly, it is no worse than the current rule (and will probably have no difference on how often the lino gets it wrong), but means more goals, which most fans want.

Not necessarily saying I want it, but don't see the big fuss about it being awful.

Will it mean more goals/give the striker an advantage? As soon as defenders realise the forward can be half a yard behind them and still onside the natural and counter- tactic response to that is the defensive line will have to sit much deeper so they can't be played into space behind them. Will lead to just even more defensive football and fewer counter attacks
