    I doesnt matter if he's a defender apparently, he's still active and off the pitch without permission so he's playing them onside, that's the official word.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    from a man in black:- ;)

    "The player was not offside because in addition to the goalkeeper there was another Italian player in front of the goalscorer. Even though he had fallen off the pitch his position was still relevant for the purposes of the offside law."
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I still think that its been fine for years so why change it. It would make it more complicated. Who decides what decisions go to replay? The ref im assuming, but then we have manager's moaning about what decisions go to replay and which dont. I just think it would take a lot of the excitement out. Any goal mouth scrambles when the ball is clattering about you'll just be waiting for the whistle to go if there's a handball call, and then what happens when its found out that its not a handball, or its unintentional, and how do they determine if its intentional as it always looks more intentional in slow motion!! How would they restart it in that siuation as well? Drop ball 6 yards out? I think it will be more trouble than its worth.
    In any attacking situation which may lead to a goal, continue play til the threat is over... then look at the video. This would make it more exciting IMO... nothing worse than a ref stopping play when it's clear it should have continued! And if there IS a goal and it shouldn't have been... all they do is give the kick out/corner/whatever.

    Exactly. Italy are the worst cheats in football so i couldnt care if it was legitimate or not. They have had some decisions go in their favour in their time, one in particular springs to mind, the bastards. lol
