    offside trap.. explained for girls..

    In preparation for the world cup - It all makes perfect sense now!!!
    xxA

    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 had
    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.

    At a pinch 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.

    Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it
    would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.

    Don't forget that if you have another friend infront of the other shopper, but who isn't interested in taking part with buying something, that's ok as well.

    I take offense...

    I knew what the offside trap was in the first place.

    ..except this is the old offside trap, not allowing for a shopper who isn't directly interfering in the purchase to suddenly be offside if the wind is blowing in a certain direction and the shop supervisor is having some biscuits.

    lol- that actually quite a clever explanation, although as others have said, an adaptation needs to me made for the new rules.

    there are no new rules, dont listen to the media.

    there was simply some advice by the fa on how to judge the offside rule, and this advice were mearly common sense.

    well now that is cleared up, the joke was quite good, although imo harder to understand than the normal rule hehe

    Should mention you can be in front of the other shopper and still get the shoes if you are in your own half of the shop when you start running for the shoes.

    in all honesty, your story makes no sense, due to the fact that you cannot be offside if somebody throws you the ball/purse

    hehe, now everybody hates me for spoiling it :/

    well you can if your the keeper but it would be a big throw. and you cant be offside on a normal throw in so your story is invalid
