Football's rule-making international FA Board has been asked by Fifa, the sport's governing body, to clarify the offside rule when they meet next month.
.
Fifa wants it made clear whether a player in an offside position is interfering with play or not. The current rule mentions players can be interfering with distracting 'gestures or movements'.
.
But Fifa wants the wordings simplied to take out any room for a referee's interpretation or opinion.
.
At present, Law 11 states a player is interfering by 'clearly obstructing an opponent's vision or movements, or making a gesture or movement which in the opinion of the referee deceives or distracts an opponent ''.
.
Ifab will meet in Edinburgh on 2nd March when they will also discuss the use of goal-line technology, which was trialled at the Club World Cup in Japan last December.
Not ony on offside.Other calls too need correct clarifications. It gets confusing sometimes
