<b>Women across Britain were plunged into confusion this week over a change in the football offside rule - just as they were close to getting to grips with the old one.</b>

Now furious men are having to put up with a fresh barrage of questions about why the linesman has stuck his flag up.

Sales executive Debbie Downes, 27, from Sudbury, was in despair when she spoke with the Suffolk Gazette. "Me and my friends thought we were finally getting close to understanding what the offside rule was all about.

"But then they went and changed thw rule again, and now I haven't got a clue what's going on."

Debbie's partner, plasterer Duncan Forbes, was unfuriated this week when trying to watch football on the television. "She keeps interrupting Gary Neville when the linesman's flag goes up.

"It's like listening to a broken record."
