OFFSIDE . what a strange rule.

i thought i understood it, but i just read about it in wikipedia ... and it is even more confusing than i thought.

without it the game would be big lollypops into the goal mouths where 8 foot tall attackers are lurking for headers.

but the rule is painful ... what might be better?

don't trust wikipedia for info, a lot of it is rubbish. type in a few things that you really know about you'll see what i mean.

a lot of irish history stuff.

the offside rule really isn't that silly, think of it as instead of a line like in hockey its the last player before the goalkeeper.
