i agree, its a joke.
How a Goalie is meant to process that 'Here comes an incoming shot, but i'll forget about Rooney cos if it hits him, its offside, so i'll just keep an eye on the ball'

1st phase 2nd phase bull crap imo... but thats just me.

It isn't the rule that is wrong it is the ref/linesman's interpretation of it.

It's only a stupid rule when the rule is used in United's favour apparently.

Then it's still a stupid rule if it's too ambiguous

Excuse me Kn0bhead, did you read the feckin post before making an utter cuuunt of yourself?

Honestly, the old offside rule was so much better.

If you're off, you're off, no matter how far from the ball you are.

The current ruling is way too open to interpretation. It's a forward's responsibility to stay onside.

what Igor said. Plain and Simple.

Didn't rooney jump out the way of the shot, so if hes in line of the shot surely he is interfering?

you can blatantly see the Red Defender gets the last touch... The zigzagged shaped line of the trajectory of the ball clearly shows this..
ergo, the player isn't offside....
wait a sec! you think you're clever.. the dude at the top is the Linesman!!!
Nice Try bud.....

Its not a stupid rule. A player could be somehow getting through on goal on one side of the pitch only to be foiled by a player being offside on the other side so the interfering with play rule is sensible. Its the way the refs apply it thats the problem IMO.

Its a stupid rule, may as well just leave a striker on the oppositions goal line for the entire match, as long as he doesnt touch the ball and isnt in the keepers eyeline then everything will be fine and dandy apparently

Maybe someone should try it out just to show how ludicrous the current ruling is
.....

What would be the point in that?

You'd only have 10 men and a guy on the line who can't move
