Referee for Forest & Changes to the Offside Law.

That's an interesting point. I wonder why it was introduced in the first place. It would simplify football and remove a lot of controversy.

Inverting the Pyramid is an interesting read for the history of football, or http://www.kenaston.org/download/KenAstonRefereeSociety/offside_history-JulianCarosi.pdf for a potted version just around the offside rule.

What if Rojo's move didn't impact the ability of an opponent? How can this be determined and then explained? As you say it's bizarrely subjective.

It's very annoying, it solves one problem and creates 2 more.

I'm not sure I fully understand this. And what is "close"?

Nor do I - a complete load of bollox.

Time to scrap offside altogether.

.......is the right answer. If a team wants to leave a goal hanger leaning on the post at the other end of the pitch, let em. Football would instantly be a much better watch.

I'd imagine that there would be a lot more goals but I'm not sure about it being better to watch. It would be a big lump up to a big lump of a striker and hope for the best. Would make Wimbledon of the 80s look technically brilliant by comparison.
