Me dad's solution is simple, scrap the offside rule all together. It means there's no more goals bein ruled out when they were perfectly good and it means defenders have to defend. (I don't like that solution but I can see what he means)
How exciting would that be. certainly a lot more goals and no real need for technology apart from maybe goaline stuff.
On the appealing i agree that you should always play to the whistle but anyone plays football will know its not always possible, especially in the heat of the moment and if you are certain it is offside.
To some degree it also shows the opposition our confidence in our back line, it might not always work but more often than not it does.
The set piece defending does need sorting though.
