Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

haha xpost!

Someone got paid for designing that?

I know right? In the article it's being argued that the player on the left isn't by default offside, only if he touches/accepts the pass, which is true. But you'd need one hell of a huge coin to get all that in. As it stands the coin's ok I think.

the guy stood offside isn't offside if he doesn't take the pass is the argument from some tedious pedant. clearly this is because the current interpretation of offside is really sensible and good.

£2 coin might be big enough, you could put the fine print round the edge

Tom D was 'tony hart land', it's just occurred to me

Maybe the other side of the coin says any player in an offside position when the ball is played is no longer automatically penalised. It states: "It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position."

Instead, for the past 17 years assistant referees have been told to wait and see whether a player in an offside position becomes involved in active play, either by "interfering with play, or interfering with an opponent, or by gaining an advantage by being in that position". That means that if the midfielder on the coin passes to the striker on his left, but the striker chooses not to play the ball or interfere with an opponent, he is not offside and play continues.

y'know, in really tiny letters.

I bought a Lilt at lunch time, fwiw.

How'd you work that out?

I dunno, it was bugging me the whole time sandbox was up and it just came in a flash there - I'm not analysing it lest I'm miles out

put "If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be!" around the edge xpost

... in Latin

or in Nult!

new offside law is pish tbh

lol at you guys actually treating a daily mail rumour about bloody fatty lamps going to utd

Oh, it *is* real, btw - Ferguson is trying to get him. Whether it will actually happen is another matter.

problem with that coin is i didn't design it. if i did it would be a man getting the ball first and being given a straight red anyway.

photoshop your london 2012 50p coin design here

put it there caek

Fuck the Olympics, leave football out of it (not literally)

Will be sure to bear this diagram in mind if I ever go for a kickabout with the Mr Men.

'Arry hasn't heard of Ganso. Doesn't get to Brasil too often apparently (kind of odd that Spurs are being linked with him anyway)

not too many flight deals to brazil

kept Ronnie Biggs out of harm's way long enough though

Yeah I saw that, how's it wrong? It indicates two passes, one's offside and the other isn't.

there are no defenders in front of either of them, making them both offside?

Remiss to leave yourselves without Gervinho and Arshavin slappers, Arsene needs to get busy.

honestly, we can't be worse with aoc, miyaichi and benny noon getting some games. we could even be better. wilshere will be back soon too, and he started as a right winger.

yeah that coin makes no sense to me

the squares are defenders (one goalie, one alongside the onside guy), the pointy up arrows are attackers.

I've forgotten all I ever knew about Miyaichi. Also, what happened to Park?

ah

Also, what happened to Park?

He played and people realised he was teh rubbish

The FA Cup third round is almost upon us - turn your minds to a thread title please.

Andy Carroll wont score in dis ting - FA Cup thread.

(to tempt fate and he scores hat-tricks in every game)

'Every game' meaning the 4-3 home defeat to Oldham

liverpool fc <3 racists- the fa cup 2012

back when you could kick a ball in the street, the fa cup used to mean something & you kill a black man without being arrested 8 years later - but now its just FA CUP 11/12

not loving this strain of suggestion tbh

dont blame us blame cultural relevance

18 years later

oh yuh typo

because other than that typo, it was pure gold...!

Traditional FA Cup thread title would involve a shout out to Tamworth or Fleetwood Town or someone.

FA Cup full of lilt 2012

Wait is it Fleetwood Town or Yeovil playing tomorrow?

'Wait is it Fleetwood Town or Yeovil playing tomorrow? - FA Cup Third Round & Onward 2012'

That'll do

That'll do

(erm - uncanny xpost)

ya

I goddamn missed the meaning of 'lilt' and feel so out of the loop now ;_;

I totally misread that and for a second thought Fleetwood Mac were in the FA Cup third round

lilt is not a meaning it is a totally tropical taste
