Yeah, exactly. Even the way VAR has turned offside into a matter of inches goes against the original spirit of the law, which was really just intended to stop goal hanging. Not penalise strikers who have a fraction of a limb closer to the goal than the nearest defender.
Or just by dint of the fact that they take up more space in the Universe than their opposite number.
I'm sure this has been discussed before but if we just binned offside altogether, would the sky fall in?
