Football's law-making body IFAB to conduct year-long review into offside law and is expected to set new rules
Wolverhampton Wanderers' Conor Coady remonstrates with referee Mike Dean after their goal is disallowed for offside on February 14, 2020.
“It will be an absolutely huge change to the game at every level, there’s no question of that,” he told reporters. The question of what is the purpose of the offside rule is exactly what is going to be examined closely by the IFAB panel.David Elleray, the former English referee who is now technical director at IFAB, said the review will look at the underlying “philosophy” of offside and to see how it can best fit the desire for attacking football.
Instead, the review will be broad and not limited to the already well-rehearsed arguments about “daylight”, referring to a clear gap between the attacker and the last defender, and “leeway”.
