Eliminate offsides from soccer (football)?

[renard_ruse]

I didn't realize this was actually seriously being considered:

Now, I know it hasn't happened and probably won't, but I'm sure it could only help improve the game. I don't know if it would enough to make it worth watching, but it would be a good start.

What do others think?

Apparently field hockey eliminated it a few years ago. Somehow I missed that, but anyway they say its improved the game, of course it was already more entertaining than soccer anyhow, watching the short skirts running around the field.

I think you should start another thread re: help finding a story...

...so I can tell you what I really think.

Where are the UK people? I thought they would have a comment or two. Must be past their bedtime.

How about if they eliminate the rolling around on the pitch like a child throwing a tantrum in the hopes of getting a penalty against the other side?

How about if we give that a whirl?

That's about the only excitement in the average soccer game as it is.

You'd never see Jack Youngblood doing that.
Or his brother Jim.

Soccer is a lousy sport. The whole game should be BANNED.

Derpppppp

Derpppppp

See what I mean? The letter to repeat would be the 'r.' Derrrrrp. That's a long way of say 'derp.' Adding p's doesn't make the word any longer. Say it out loud and you'll see what I mean.

You went full Renard. Never go full Renard.

Hockey is far more entertaining.

For that matter so is rugby and Australian Rules Football.

TSN2 has Aussie Rules on every Friday nite. Tried to watch it the other nite.

Now I consider myself a typical male sports fan. Yes I might know a few more of the Rules of Golf then the average schmoe, but really, you should know why you can't do things on the golf course. And shame on you if you don't

Fact of the matter is... Aussie Rules is some fucked up shit. And not in a good way.

Want to piss off a friend who hates the sound of a referee's whistle?

Turn on some Aussie Rules and watch the slow burn. Holy fuck!

You mean put them in helmets, padding and errrm... tights? Yep... that sounds much more manly!

Like I enjoy a sport based on "what the rest of the world" thinks.

To each his/her own, but I love the fast paced chaotic action.
