I know I’ve been out of the country for 16 years but when did the rule change about ‘where the player touches the ball, not where the player was standing when the ball was kicked’. Sounds a bit convoluted & potentially confusing. Offside used to be so simple - ‘level or behind the last defender when the pass was made’. Now we have several elements (eg, interfering with play, directly involved, etc).

Blackpool fans loved it in the prem for one season!Whilst I'm sure we'd all like to see a 2nd Division game before we die, it does make me wonder what those who think promotion was "blown" would make of it?
Despite my belief that it's better to try and play well, there's no joy to be had in losing every week - let alone losing badly - and that's what would happen with a 95% probability.
What some of the forum members would make of it, I shudder to think.
That statement seems to be at odds with this part of Law 11 on the FA website-
Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

A few years or so now maybe more. If you look at any highlights and the flag goes up two hours after, you’ll be in the new rule zone.
