O.K. O.K. I will be the first ( but probably not the last to say it ) today’s Andy is beyond lame ! It is totally illogical !
I spent over 30 years as a professional football ( soccer ) referee and referee instructor.
Over the years, I’ve used many of Reg Smythe’s cartoons to emphasize certain aspects of the game. Reg knew and loved the “beautiful game” ! The three idiots haven’t a clue.
If Andy thought Big Dave’s belly was offside, he’d be arguing with the Linesman ( Referee’s Assistant in FIFA’s new parlance ) not with the player. Andy might have insulted his opponent and thus provoked a fight but I seriously doubt that he’d dispute an offside non-call with the player. He’d be in the referee’s face in a heartbeat, if a goal was scored.
True on the Linesman comment. Yet it is much easier to fight one near you, than go elsewhere for a good scuffle. Maybe Andy’s saving the Linesman for dessert?

Andy sire can’t take a break when it comes to fighting on the football pitch over an insult.

Even I agree this strip is lame. It makes no sense at all.

Because they don’t give a damn about anybody and anything except themselves and their shallow little lives.
