Your mention of LBW is interesting, Dave, because altho it is essential in justice for the concept to exist, it too has got so hedged around with piddling exceptions & otiose details that it wants a good deal of SIMPLIFICATARY tidying up. The offside rule, OTOH, doesn't ~~ it is no way essential for equity like LBW, & simply, IMO obviously, wants doing away with. You 2, MikeL & Dave, I know disagree, which is fair enough; but I do think serious consideration should be given to this.
