It seems like the rule is designed to stop people playing the offside trap and/or if they do try to play offside then the advantage is to the attacking team.
That seems fair enough to me. The off-side trap always pissed me off anyway.

If the keeper misjudges who is onside and who is offside and positions himself towards the wrong player, it's his fault. If the offside player is standing between ball and keeper, so that the keeper just can't see what's going on, than that counts as active. While sometimes open to interpretation I do think that this is actually a good rule.
This isn't a bad point; and I accept it to a degree. But if we accept that then we must also accept that the attackers can gain an advantage, and can seek to do so lawfully, by flooding the offside area with attacking "decoy" options if they wish. The offside rule is intended surely to prevent the attackers from gaining an advantage from being offside; the whole dichotomy between "interfering/not interfering" is built around the idea of advantage. If you are right, then you can gain advantage, but only in an arbitrary way which seems no different to the fact that the player offside isn't allowed to block the goalkeeper's view, or to touch the ball. It is arguable that a minute touch of the ball might be LESS important than the player's mere position.

He looked at my pigeon and said summat, but I don't understand cockney, so I said to him, "I know you lot like your dodgy meat, but this is a 500 quid racing pigeon, so feck off back to London, and eat swamp rats, you fat cnut." Should have seen his face. Then he dropped his fries in a puddle and everyone cheered. Even my pigeon let out a whoop. I've been tugging away at myself ever since."

The bench for city against spurs is better than the starting eleven for city.
I always get a kick out of the comments when MOTD post something about City and how easily riled up they get when it turns into a no fans, empty seats thread
Bookmark for later...

Spot on. People who make up fake stories are so pathetic.Those fake stories are too much
They are so confusing as they follow the bluemoon pattern to a T. I can’t make out whether they are real posts on bluemoon or made up by caf members.Those fake stories are too much
I was leaving the Middleton branch of help for hero's, when to my amazement, right there in the mall was Bryan Robson and Fred the Red selling tickets for rags games, and he was practically giving them away for a couple of quid, most of it going into his own pocket for pints. I went over and said to him, "I know you spent most of your career on your arse, but I never thought you'd stoop this low." And no word of a lie, Fred the Red took his head off and it was Peter Schmeichel, and we all ended up having a scrap. Robson was done after one punch because his shoulder immediately dislocated, but Schmeichel kept lunging at me like a starfish, so I kicked him in the bollix and he went down like a sack of shit. I stood over him and said, "This is our city, you pig botherer, so feck off back to London, before I take my belt off." And I casually picked up my carrier bag of shopping, and walked over to the bookies and all the blokes in there cheered and gave me a pat on the back, because all of them are top blues like me. I even got a free bet out of it. Couldn't make it up!
On Cancelo leaving:
