Explaining the offside rule to women...

Ever tried to explain the offside rule to women??? :blink: :smiley:

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 have 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.

Alternatively 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.

But remember that until the purse had actually been thrown it would be plain wrong to get infront of the other shopper.

I am actually a qualified football referee - should I really admit to that?

Anyway, I under the law, but this…totally confuses me.

I wonder if this helps?Translation

Purse = ball

Goal = shoes you must have

Shop Assistant + Other Female Shopper = two opposing defenders required between you and goal unless youre ‘running onto’ or ‘in possession’ of the purse whilst its in play

Finally I understand it!!

less shopping with the wife - more skysports! :w00t:

So am I;)

ah who cares? its only football…

:smiley:

Rugby’s a real mans sport :wink:

"Rugby’s a real mans sport"

…with off side rules that take a law degree to fathom.

Ever tried to explain the offside rule to women??? - only when trying to bore them to death or submission.

Life’s too short to be bothered with any of this *****. The only rules you need to know are in the Highway Code;)

I gave up explaining anything to a woman as they only have selective hearing.:stuck_out_tongue:
