A good explanation I think and I also think that is some common sense we have needed for a few years. I also think we saw an example on Saturday. I can't remember the exact circumstances but there was an offside given when someone was forced into a clearing header (unsuccessful) by an 'offside' player. I was surprised he was flagged at the time because previously he would not have been and I did not know about the change in the interpretation.
I agree though that it will cause a weeks (months) [years] confusion.
What we really need is Andy Gray, his analysis changed and improved 'linepersonship' remarkably. Most of the decisions analysed in the Premier League these days they get right. They get most right in our league too, it is just a bit of good fun to bait them (good naturally) when they don't/.

I'm always right about offside decisions, no matter where I am in the ground.

You mean this andy gray. ? I think not...  In January 2011, Gray was forced to apologise for comments he made about a female assistant referee, Sian Massey, in a Premier League match. Believing that his microphone was switched off, Gray commented to co-host Richard Keys, "Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don't know the offside rule." Keys replied "Course they don't." The comments were criticised by Sky Sports, football fans and the Football Association.[10] On 24 January it was announced that both Gray and Keys would be banned for one game.[11] On 25 January 2011, it was announced his contract was being terminated for unacceptable behaviour.[12] Barney Francis, Sky Sports' managing director, said Gray was dismissed "in response to new evidence of unacceptable and offensive behaviour in an off-air incident that took place in December 2010". The Daily Telegraph suggested that the Sky statement refers directly to a clip of Gray and Charlotte Jackson in rehearsals for the Sky Sports Christmas Special. While Jackson is attaching a microphone pack, Gray lifts his belt and says: "Charlotte, can you tuck this down here for me?"[13][14] |

Definitely that Andy Gray, his latter indiscretions diminish but not alter the changes he (and others) brought about in linepersoning.
