[BNM] [OT] Offside rule explained for girls

[Alan Newman]

>>> It's to stop goal hanging isn't it?

Aye, it is.

>>> It's cricket scores I don't get. when they're read out on the news, I
think
they should say "that means England have won"; assuming England win.

How do they say that is they are 3 days in to a 5 day match? The scores are
sufficient....

Brilliant, that's the funniest thing I've read this week "the man on the
side waves his flag to tell the crowd". I'm not sure why but I can't stop
chuckling at that.

I'm not really interested in football but I'm fairly sure I understand the
off-side rule; is it  that complicated, am I missing something? The
explanation for girls made sense. It's to stop goal hanging isn't it?

It's cricket scores I don't get. when they're read out on the news, I think
they should say "that means England have won"; assuming England win.
