For the IFAB to change the offside law by introducing a new rule as stated below.
The Issue
I'm quickly falling out of love with the beautiful game because of the offside rule. It drastically needs changing. I propose that the new rule should be whatever part of your body you touch the ball with determines whether or not you're offside. For example under current rules when the ball is played if a player's head is offside but their feet are onside and they control it with their feet, they're offside. What I'm proposing is that if their head is offside but they control it with their feet they are onside. Because the head being offside hasn't impacted in that phase of play. Football has become monotonous and boring, you can't even celebrate a goal in fear of a player being a shoulder offside. Let's make football great again. #letschangefootball
