Yeah but ban slow motion replays in VAR for these sorts of things because football doesn't happen in slow motion, other than in La Liga.

Speaking of goalies hoofing it, and though it's not a rule change thing, one part of football from my childhood days I miss is the crowd ritual when a keeper was doing his run-up for a goal kick.

I don't actually think VAR has taken emotion out of the game, just potentially the immediacy of celebrating a goal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that not the whole point of football? That primal instinct. Imagine a caveman catching a mammoth then having to wait 5 minutes for a decision from VAR on whether he did or not, whilst you and the mammoth stand there anticipating the decision. Kind of kills the original moment.
And that is essentially what sports replace, primal instincts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Harness, not replace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, no that's not the point of football.
I cant even imagine Garth Crooks using the 'caveman catching a mammoth' routine/analogy when describing a passage of play in football
Well before my time as I am sure some tw@t has already suggested.
Best two players I have ever seen to be able to play against the offside rule was our own RVN and sniffer Clarke at Leeds.

Yeah. Do some reading. Over the last five million years, part of our brain evolved a talent for raiding. A desire came with that talent. Even chimps play physical group games as they unknowingly prepare for future battles. Today, you experience that desire as a need to compete, play sports, or tackle war games on your X-Box. Just an example.
There are others explaining fan behaviour.

Ozzie rules (which doesn't have an offside rule) illustrates most closely i think how football was played in the early days (and before the different codes split)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's actually only in this code of football that we have offsides. In Aussie, American and Stoke football there is no offside. The difference with those obviously is they involve throwing and not kicking, and you're not offside from throws. Very different sports to normal football obviously.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
American football has offside. If you pass the line of scrimmage before the ball has been snapped.

Be interesting to know what year the OP had really thought that offside was introduced into football rules.....Wonder if he had imagined the likes of Denis Law and Jimmy Greaves goal hanging and leaning against the post having a chat with the oppos keeper wating for the ball to arrive in the box... a la school playground footy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought offside was brought in when football was invented, 92/93.
Nah, I’d have said around the 20-30s
The 2nd phase offside rule is interesting. There have been goals scored which blatantly take advantage of it, but it should be happening every game.
Striker stands way offside, ball played through to onside winger who just squares it to the now onside (but way beyond the defenders) forward to tap in.
They should actively be coaching this until the rule changes.

The game before the offside rule?

That evolved at some grounds in the eighties from "Whooooooaaah -You're Shiiit -Aaaaarhhhh"

I once got subbed off in a primary school game for shouting that at the opposition goalkeeper after I'd heard it at a Wolves game the week before. The teacher was not happy.

I tried to explain that to the kids once. The Mrs made me cut the $hit out of it.
Not the same chanting Whooooooah - you’re rubbish aaaaarhhh.

Funny you should say that. I told my kids about "Whooooooaaah -You're Shiiit - Aaaaarhhhh" last week. Mrs Russian wasn't in the room so I gave them the unsanitised version.

Be interesting to know what year the OP had really thought that offside was introduced into football rules.....Wonder if he had imagined the likes of Denis Law and Jimmy Greaves goal hanging and leaning against the post having a chat with the oppos keeper wating for the ball to arrive in the box... a la school playground footy

I thought offside was brought in when football was invented, 92/93.
Nah, I’d have said around the 20-30s

The 2nd phase offside rule is interesting. There have been goals scored which blatantly take advantage of it, but it should be happening every game.
Striker stands way offside, ball played through to onside winger who just squares it to the now onside (but way beyond the defenders) forward to tap in.
They should actively be coaching this until the rule changes.
