Better by far to ABOLISH THE OFFSIDE RULE COMPLETELY. It is obsolete in the modern game, which is predicated on the technique of [often short] precision passing, having been intro'd early in the game's history when 'boot it hard upfield & hope for the best' was order of the day; & has now surely outlived its usefulness & original purpose.   It does nothing but lead to disagreement, confusion & frustration. GET RID OF IT, I say again.

Might seem a radical suggestion, but such basic changes not unknown or unprecedented — look at the very recent pass-back-to-goalkeeper rules which have become so quickly & universally accepted & integrated into the game, much to everybody's benefit.
