Not really Liverpool related specifically but football in general.
Wasn't the world a much simpler place when If a player was offside, then he was offside and you got a free kick!!?
Now it's was he 'active' 'daylight', 'interfering with play', 'gaining an advantage' MADNESS !!! Bring back the days where If he's off then he's off.

No it made no sense. If anyone was standing offside then it was judged as offside. That ruins the game in my opinion. Football should be about goals and a goal shouldn't be disallowed simply because someone who wasn't anywhere near the ball is offside. It's stupid.

The rule that the player needs to be active is quite easy to get your head around. Why is anyone having trouble understanding it? If you play a part in the goal and you're offside then it's offside. Simple.

I remember after it was brought in, SkySports wanted two refs to come in and help explain it and there were no takers! I still say one rule should come in and that is daylight between attacking player and last defender, not all this, well his left boot was past the line of the defender and as that can score a goal, the player is offside!
