It's back..."Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
Where's the ride?
Hardly, it's a strategy... play to the rules, ref & whistle.
It's not so hard on the linesmen. We used to play the off-side rule hard; it only took a couple of calls early in the game to wake up the linesmen. Part of the strategy is suckering in an attacker while the linesman is paying attention...
Playing it this way totally disarmed teams that substituted team-play or skills for champion-quality sprinters. Equally, our forwards knew how to play this game and how to break the defense. It's just another facet of the game.
jimjim, your son is obviously a slow learner... sorry to put it bluntly. Saying you would've won 5-2, apart from one rule you were forgetting, is nonsense!
The rule is not strictly forward of the ball, but rather the ball 'in play'. Doing things like overstepping the ball and flicking it over your head doesn't put you (or someone else) off-side.
Changing the rules to make it 'more exploitable'... eh, sorry, 'more exciting to watch' will not necessarily make it more exciting to play. We don't have to over-commercialise everything for the pleasure of the non-participants.
The rule is usually abandoned in small-format variants like seven-a-side and most indoor flavours... but they are totally different games due to the restricted playing field.

i wouldnt say he was a slow learner but is a fast runner and was blown offside several times when he took the ball through the defenders from being onside and was 1 on 1 with their goalie...the ref was "their" ref as well
Forum whore
ever watched a mens hockey game, i doubt you or any rugby noneck could keep up
Easily wound up!!
That Ref's an arse.... you can't be offside if you receive the ball directly from a throw in....... nor can you be offside if you are behind the ball..... as in, the ball is closer to the goal line than the player in possession (as is usually the case after the attacker beaten the last defender.)

Offside when he was the one with the ball and he dribbled it past the defenders?
If thats what you meant then the ref was definitely not right.
One, two free, floor!

Its not soccer its "football"
FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

At that age, you could fake it, like Cowpoos missus.
Make them run, passing, ball skills etc. Probably the most important thing at that age is, make it fun.

You can do all the skills and passing work in the world at that age and when it comes to match time you'll still get a mob of 20 players chasing the ball around the pitch...
Only a homo puts an engine back together WITHOUT making it go faster.

Aint that the truth, watched my little bro play on saturday and it was exactly like that - with a lonely goalie at each end daydreaming.
Bloody hilarious.

Most kiwi's I play with/ref forget their playing football and end up booting the ball up the wings and chasing it. Methinks they just can't get schoolboy rugby out of their system
