    Arsene Wenger proposes change to offside rule after - BBC Sport

    So Wenger is talking about what may have been a thing for a while a decade or 2-3 ago, the idea of "daylight" between defender and attacker to be offside and I agree

    drawing of lines and finding someone offside because they we leaning forward and some part of their body noone would likely score with was a fraction ahead of some part of the defender's body they would unlikely be able to clear the ball with, is farcical

    For me with various laws whether a player really gains any advantage ought to be factored in, whether handball was intentional or not shouldn't there be whether the defender gained an (unintentional) advantage with a part of them shouldn't be gaining them any advantage.....


    anyway, daylight, bright idea or let's stay in the dark (ages) ?

    Arsene Wenger really needs to find something better to do in his old age, maybe playing golf or lawn bowls.
