Sun TzuRoyal Rother Just do away with offside altogether.
Worked in hockey (very well !)
Would be well worth an experiment, would require managers and players to really think about the way the game is played.
Would also free up linesmen to concentrate on key goal line decisions !!!!

frimmers3 how about a "comprimise"?.....what if only two pre-named players(strikers perhapaps) were allowed to score within the penalty box,but a free for all from outside...thus encroachment into the box would be policed by defenders intent on snuffing out the immediate threat posed...no need for "off side" under those circumstances. perhaps i am too old for original thought....

paultheroyalDirk Gently Yes to anything that gives an instant notification to the ref. Hawkeye, as tested at Hogwood, gave the ref a buzz within 0.5 seconds of the ball crossing the line.
But a big NO to anything that stops play or takes it back - and here's why. After yesterday's incident, the ball was cleared and Germany were immediately on the attack, and within 30 seconds of the ball bouncing behind their goalline they'd had a shot themselves on the England goal. What if that had gone in?
When would you look at the replay? Would you stop play immediately and deprive Germany of the chance to attack? Or would you take away the "goal" they'd scored - which might have been the best goal in the history of football?
TV replays are a must for tournament football - goal line decisions only. Any issue with ball over the line - whistle is immediately blown - this then answers Dirks point and prevents further controvesy. Replay is looked at, decision is made - either a goal is awarded, or a goal kick to the defending team - job done.

SLAMMED Basically you play on until the ball goes out of play. If it's a goal, then it is awarded, if not, how ever the ball went out of play will be how the game continues.

So the England shot goes 'in' but instead of the ball being gathered by the keeper, it hits him and comes out. Eventually, the onrushing Rooney pops the ball in. If the whistle goes as soon as the original incident happens, England are penalised again. Don't stop the game, but give extra official 5 seconds to decide whether it was in. If he can't decide in 5 seconds - no goal.
Now the jobe's done.

Pointless idea, will never happen, and totally change football from how it should be played. All it will do is encourage the long ball game. Hoof up the pitch from one end to the other. Free kicks around the box, attackers filling up the goal mouth. Think about it.

How is putting the ref under pressure to make a decision on 5 seconds going to work ?
he's still got a game to referee and in the 5 seconds he won't get any more info than he had first time round.
So chances are he'll not concentrate on the action , not have anything to base a decision on other than what he saw first time and never give a goal anyway becasue there would be no basis on which to do it....
Agree 100% with Dirkers that an instant signal is the only way.
