it should be that if the body part you score with is onside then it’s a goal,

What if you aren't the one who scores.

What if its because you are stood in front of the keeper?

Then your entire body is deemed to have blocked the keeper so it would be offside.

if a players foot is offside but he flicks it on to set up a team mate with a header then it is onside.

I personally wouldn't change the offside rule but if there was to be a change it would be this.

Feels like a lot of checking to see which body part was a) offside, then b) used.

I don't think it would take any longer than it currently does.

More new rules (laws)

Throw-ins and goal kicks

Building on last year’s widely welcomed change in the Laws to prevent goalkeepers from holding the ball for too long, the AGM members confirmed the extension of the countdown principle to throw-ins and goal kicks.

If the referee considers that a throw-in or goal kick is taking too long or being deliberately delayed, a five-second visual countdown will be initiated. If the ball is not in play at the end of the countdown, the throw-in will be awarded to the opposing team while a delayed goal kick will result in a corner kick being awarded to the opponents.

Time-limited substitutions

To further streamline match flow, substituted players must leave the field of play within ten seconds of the substitution board being displayed or, where there is no substitution board, of the referee’s signal. Should the player fail to leave within this time, they must still exit the field but the substitute will not be permitted to enter until the first stoppage after one minute (running clock) has elapsed following the restart.

Off-field treatment and assessment

Where a player receives on-field assessment for an injury, or their injury causes play to be stopped, the player will be required to leave the field of play and remain off it for one minute (running clock) once play has restarted.

I actually dont mind these two

I always struggle with the last one - if the player actually needed treatment after a foul, you are handing a reward to the fouling team.

It makes sense to me - I thought the old 'clear daylight' rule worked really well and was weighted in favour of the attacking side, hence more goals. This is the same thing roughly?

Has a clear day light rule ever been a thing? I've no recollection of it

No

Seems a bit pointless. Rather than the attacker's fingernail being ahead of the last defender, now it's whether their trailing toe nail is ahead of them.

I honestly thought there was once. If not, there should be. Maybe in my dotage I've just remembered pundits talking about it or it being mooted by the powers that be once then not taken up.

Feck knows.

Edit - quick search....The daylight thing was never a rule. It was just a suggestion to linesmen (I'm not calling them anything else ;)) that because they were tending to make their decisions based on where the players where half a second after the pass, they should only give offside if there is daylight between the attacker and defender, because if there wasn't daylight the attacker was probably onside at the time of the pass. Being just a limb ahead at the moment of the pass was always offside......

I need to concentrate harder.

Just do away with the offside rule completely

No more offside traps.
Tactical decisions about whether to leave defenders back
No more VAR bollocks for marginal calls

I think of offside just make it any part of the body an use that technology we used at the Qatar World Cup which seems to work perfectly.

Not saying I agree with that ruling but it’s simple and will result in quicker decisions for the fans.

It’s not that mad of a suggestion tbh.

Ice hockey did it, albeit with fewer players in a smaller pitch.
