good grief all these stupid rule changes, if the gk comes out and the opposition scores tough crap on your stupid decision.
I tend to.agree with what youâve said tbf.
Not sure why people prefer to play Chelsea in a final instead of spurs should we qualify

Thatâs not a rule change. The offside rule doesnât mention goalkeepers, just defenders or defending players.
I know itâs not a rule change.
The rule changes when the GK advances ahead of the âoffsideâ player.
No it doesnât. The rule is two opposition players. Has been for about a hundred years.

Thought the same, itâs been 2 players since they changed it from 3 in like the 60s or something and itâs never been specific as to which players they have to be, itâs just generally highly likely in most situations that one will be the goalkeeper.

Yeah The rule changes when the goalkeeper pushes forward, which is what Iâve said. Iâve not said the rule has changed recently. Itâs an in play rule, which is what I was trying to explain to Mav.
It doesnât though.
It does, goalkeeper pushes forward. You exclude the goalkeeper from the offside equation. There have to be two players keeping the âscoringâ player onside at that point. There werenât. There was only one.
Yes thatâs the rule.
The goalkeeper is usually one of them. Doesnât have to be. Nothing changes because the goalkeeper moves. No player âbecomes the goalieâ in this scenario.

Being an awkward dickhead this morning ainât you.
Mind you thatâs your default stance.
Haha Iâm not usually. I would fancy our chances against Spurs more than Chelsea. But itâs a final. Playing Spurs in a final would make me too nervous.
Couple of wines and sheâd be right
I mean if youâre going to offer an answer and you get it wrong people will correct you.
Good man though, you held out a few responses before name calling and getting personal again.
