I have never played football beyond BB level, so I don`t get the tactical intricacies.
I think as a result I actually enjoy matches more than most.
I hear folk moaning as we leave the ground after a match that I enjoyed.
Anyhoo here`s the question....what would happen if we just scrapped offside?

Chris Kane would get 90 mins every week in the opponents penalty box.

There actually an experiment years ago in what would now be English tier 5 or 6.
Basically they got 21 players in the box, the keeper whacked the ball as far as possible, then the players charged up to the other box. All game. It was scrapped as quickly as they could .

Had a nose about...
In 1987/8 the GM Conference adopted a `no offside from direct free kicks` rule as a FIFA trial. It got scrapped a third of the way into the season as teams packed the six yard box on every free kick.

I have a dim recollection of a game between Hearts and Kilmarnock where the SFA/SFL experimented with a withdrawal of the offside rule. The game finished something like 7-4 or 9-7.
I am thinking that this occurred in the early seventies, but I may be out by a few years. It may have been in a cup, rather than in the league.
Does anybody know more?
