FOOTBALL NORTH EAST WEST SOUTH

Third-Back Monstrosity Lister To David Rombach, A member of the great Airdrieonians team and as right back a master tactician:

Football needs a shake-up Get rid of the off-side law and revert to the old one. You will then also get rid of the third-back mon- strosity, which gives every lover of the game a pain in the neck."

I agree about the pain in the neck. But that isn't entirely the fault of the new law. Plenty of good football is still played with the pivat in his old role.

And, anyhow, the old law' totall- ed up to farty off-side decisions in a match and competition being what it is, the old whistle-whistle- whistle would return.

Haven't crowds protested about Hull City's offside game under the présent law ?

And that was a discovery to be highly commended, as is anything enterprising and new.

But experiment is good-essential to these economical times.

Look what it did for Shemeid Wednesday. Found them a Cham- pionship-winning half-back line out of three moderate forwards. And all three became. International halves!

That is how Fred Gregory, re- serve centre half-back, who was almost allowed to pack his traps a year ago and move to Reading. pare to lead the attack. And the more Manchester sees of him the better it likes him.

Leicester attacked for 25 minutes out of the 45, but did not get through. That was partly due to their poor show in front of goal and partly due to ne saves by Gibson, the Middlesbrough goal- keeper, from Paterson, who was the only man in the Leicester team who could shoot with any degree of accuracy...

The second half was largely a repetition of the first. Leicester could do everything but score, and a slip in the Leicester defence, rather wrase than the first one. let in Willams to score a second goal,

In the House of Lords debate on road accidents. Viscount-Buckmas- ter is reported to have said:

"It could not be said that, tak- ing motorists as a whole, they were a law-abiding community. Last year there were 338,000 of- tences "by motorists, and no fewer than 291,000 motorists were charged. There is no branch of the law with which I am familiar, or have been, which could show such a system of law-breaking as that."
