Justice on the handball...no fkn way was that handball

current rules yes it is. Stupid but not the "wrong" decision

We were a bit rubbish finding the final pass but other than that we were bossing most of the game.

he tried to get his hands out of the way but didn't in time. Rules are unclear and I'm not gonna complain about it as it's 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Intent should be a huge part in decision making, Look at bamford...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you mean? If a player didn't intend to be offside then it shouldn't be given even if he is offside?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, offside is about having an unfair advantage, I wouldnt say pointing qualifies
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Offside is about being closer to the goal than the second last defender when the ball is played. It is next to impossible to decide if a player gained an advantage from being offside because it is impossible to say what would have happened if they had been onside, so advantage doesn't come into it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No thats how its determined, not the spirit of the rule.

And it should be determined soley from foot positioning, Not a rough estimate on a distance 1/5th of the way down the arm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The spirit of the rule is reflected in the wording of the rule, otherwise they would have worded it differently.

If they wanted to they could change it to feet, but this would make it significantly harder for linesman to see (although tht might be less of a problem with VAR) and ignores the fact that you can score with other parts of the body
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would argue that to beat a defender to a ball with say, your head, Your foot position is going to have a massive role to play, its not like you can run horizontally.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wouldn't disagree on the whole but there are definitely situations like diving headers where having your head and upper body beyond the last defender could make a big difference

diving header? You'd have to be diving as the ball is played in!

If you are horizontal when the ball is played then the crosser better have facking good aim and enough speed on the ball to rip your head off

Yes but you don't have to already be horizontal. You can be in your feet and leaning forward and still be beyond the last defender who cannot then get back to the ball but you can.
