Of course women know the off-side rule:

You’re in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes. At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes. Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to push in front of the other shopper.

Well thats one way of describing it.
However, can you now explain the 3 occasions you can be penalised for being in an offside position. As just being in an offside postion is not an offence apart 3 occasions.
Now that is something those prize prats will not be able to answer!!

What are the chnces this bird has been promoted through the system to meet some sort of diversity targets.

What are the chances that she is actually a qualified match official who did a decent job.

As someone who was a level 4 ref, id say she is their purely and simply on merit. To suggest otherwise, is just displaying ignorance of the system!

Madness, women can slate men all the time and get off with it

The world has gone fooking mad

Gray / Keys were saying what we all think.

No they weren't.

[Fasth56]

I don't particularly like Keys and Gray but this is a story about absolutely nothing, all those spouting indugnance about it not being PC probably have never made a disparaging comment about lady drivers, now we know their C*&p.

And if it were someone whose job is commenting on driving standards who was making those remarks I would expect a similar outcry.

[Fasth56]

Too many people need to get a life!

[Legion]

Good point, Dave.

[Ger Regan]

Too many people need to get a life!

You're very profound!

[Fasth56]

Too many people need to get a life!

You're very profound!

Perhaps reading your own signature may point something out to you!

And I'd refer you to your original point.

 It was obvious they did not think about what they where saying they should've said nothing in the studio and just kept there opinions to themselves.

[midnite]

I'm glad those two have got punished and suspended. Too long have they been thinking they're untouchable in their Sky Sports Boys Club.

This isn't the first time they've been caught saying stuff off camera.

Are you talking about the same system that fast tracked Stuart Attwood?

1.  If there is a sale on, 2.  They are the last pair in your size, 3. you want a matching handbag. -;)



1.  If you are interfering with play

2.  If you are interfering with an opposing player (Oh ah!)

3.  You are seeking to gain an advantage by being in the offside position.
