Offside Rule Chaos Brings Change

new rules introduced to make things clearer

Following recent mayhem surrounding use of the offside rule, The Football Association are proposing some new rules to bring clarity throught the medium of disco.

Happy Talk

After all night discussions at SoHo Square in London's fashionable West End, FA bosses have decided that any player must prove they are not interfering with play by performing a bad wedding disco song (with actions).

A spokesman for the FA told Bag reporter Larry Gak, "we have been trialing the system in the championship with certain teams. They've managed to incorporate the dance routines into their training session and we have seen no discernable negative effect. Barnsley, Leeds and Southend have all been very happy with the work we have been doing."

Its Party Time and not one Minute we can Lose

Trials have now been starting in the premiership, with top strikers rehearsing Night and Day to get their moves in shape for the 2007-8 season. Some players are not keen and are pointing the finger at FIFA for lack of clarity in the latest ruleset. The FA spokesman said "we prefer to blame it on the boogie".

Dancing Queen

Head Honchos at the FA have high hopes for the system. However, they are being realistic. Our source said "we know these things are not always a success so we have a fall back option... Fancy Dress."
