    by where your feet are. You don't tilt your neck back.

    It would make so much more sense.

    When the rule was invented it was for linesmen looking across who can see feet. Not noses.

    Not interfering with play confuses the **** out of me too. How?s a ref meant to keep up with a player who?s clearly off ( on the wing) when the ball gets played through the middle, who then becomes active again within the momentum of forward press, often finishing the move off with a goal. :rollseyes:

      The good thing about offside is refs dont have to keep up with it. As a factual decision it doesn't really matter whether it has to go to var or not- unless of course you end up in some ridiculous situation at Newcastle where a million cameras fail to come up with a view of the incident.......
