Re: Commentators poor grasp of maths
This is not maths though is it. It's a lack of measuring ability. It's a common fault amongst professional players as you can see when they are asked to go back ten yards. How do foreign footballers say someone is offside? Kilometres, meters? Ten yards is 9.15 meters by the way. The penalty spot is...

Re: Van Basten on offside.
I think that it would be a step too far for the powers that be to do away with it altogether but a change to make it that a player is offside only if there is clear daylight between the attacker and defender would be a great move. The only problem with that is the arguments would then shift as to w...
