Quote mean_machine="mean_machine"I would rather a game be reffed like that - take them back 11/12 metres and if they are slightly in front then you know they are still onside, and if they are miles in front then it is a lot clearer they are offside in stead of trying to work on fine margins such as when ref's stand dead 10 metres.

Or equally the linesman could look along the 10 metre line and ping anyone in front, basically do there job (if the ref listens to them)
