So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

This is another instance of the game losing sight entirely of what the laws are trying to prevent. The objective of the law is to stop a player kicking the ball 5 yards closer to goal and having an easier shot or tricking the goalkeeper. Not slipping over.

Offside is in place to stop people hanging around near the opposition goal, not having a toe nail or shoulder half an inch beyond a defender. Handball is there to stop people deliberately catching or punching the ball to gain an advantage.

Technology has allowed the game a level of precision that was never the intention of the game’s lawmakers. It’s put the letter of the law above the spirit of the law. It is totally ridiculous.
