Heading the football 19:33 - Jan 17 with 1280 viewsDaleView

The Scottish FA have now banned youth soccer from heading the football.
Whilst I think that the sentument is OK, I wonder whether this is a sledgehammer to crack a nut (no pun intended).
If this is introduced into competitive soccer, then the probable consequences are that there will be fewer goals scored and more free kicks and penalties (unless an offence in the penalty area attrcts only an indirect free kick). The paying public will react by claiming that the game has eroded as a result. Should that happen, there is a countermeasure that will probably at least restore the balance to what was before any ban on heading. I suggest that the countermeasure is to banish off-side offences and scrap the use of VAR too, except for goal-line decisions.

What VAR has done is highlight the impossible task of deciding offside, after 20 odd games offside is as contentious as ever, rather than remove doubt it has done the opposite. The removable of the offside law is the only solution.

This is not the time for bickering.
