Sounds good to me.
And while we're on offside rules, why are players knocking in rebounds from the keeper being given offside. When was that changed?
The current wiki definition appears to be the same as the FA's definition in that the
arm and hand is not included in an offside, only the head , body , legs and feet . So why was the hand used as an excuse at Klanfield yesterday ?
i mean , it makes sense that the hands and arms would not be considered because playing the ball with the hand or arm results in a handball situation.
Apart from the fact that if we didn't have arms and hands we'd be extinct.
