“But if toe nails of attackers offside are not considered gaining an unfair advantage, where do we draw the line? Are we going to also say that kicking a ball at a defender’s hand from one yard away is not a hand ball? Or that a player extending their leg out to drag their foot over or into a defender or keeper in the box should not be a penalty? Or that feigning a head injury—when replays clearly show no contact anywhere near your head—should not be rewarded by referees stopping play? Or—HUSH—assert intentionally trying to hurt someone in a snide way by barging in to their face with your shoulder should be punishable with a red card? The game will have gone mad!”The offside law from the dark ages wasn’t designed to penalise such fine margins
Absolutely agree about the game clock
