Football without offside

[Brum Royal]

There's a lot of "woulds" in this thread so far.

Does anyone who remembers pre-offside rule football remember if there was mass goal hanging? Is it a better or worse game for the rule change?

Throughout the 1987–88 season, the Football Conference was used to test an experimental rule change, whereby no attacker could be offside directly from a free-kick. This change was not deemed a success, as the attacking team could pack the penalty area for any free-kick (or even have several players stand in front of the opposition goalkeeper) and the rule change was not introduced at a higher level.

Why is everybody talking as if this is a hypothetical question?
