QUOTE Fifa president Sepp Blatter has quizzed the sport of hockey on the benefits of scrapping their offside rule, amid talk that football could follow suit. Offside decisions are often the most debated issues in football, but that could amazingly become a thing of the past if hockey's example is replicated. The sport abolished the offside rule once and for all in 1998, a move that made for a more exciting and attractive game for spectators. Now Hockey president Leandro Negre has confirmed he held informal talks with Blatter on how his game went about implementing the radical change. Negre believes Blatter was keen on learning about how the sport was affected, although he stopped short of providing him with his final opinion. "He asked me a lot of questions about it and how successful it was," explained Negre. "Although he never offered an opinion, so it was difficult to judge what football might do. "But he did seem very interested in how we had implemented it."  14/88 -------------------- "There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England".
"The highest purpose of human existence is not the preservation of the state, let alone a government, but the preservation of the race". "We must secure the existance of our people and a future for white children". |

It may not be such a bad idea. Personally I'd go for a "blatant offside" type rule rather than the mess we see every weekend...

I dunno if I've made this up but I'm sure I heard about another couple of lines across the field between penalty area and half way which you can't be offside behind them, though obviously everyone's tactics may as well be thrown out the window.
