It applies to more than just vision

There was an example the other week of blocking from a free kick. Was it Liverpool?

I agree they could add blocking the goalkeepers line of sight, or just release examples as guidance.

Personally I think it’s right that this was called offside. Can’t have the refs being required to judge if the goalie would save something or not, far too subjective.
