I don’t have a problem with this. Offside = offside. Doesn’t matter if it’s with your whole body or with just a fraction of the feet. You (literally) gotta draw the line somewhere.
That said I would get rid of the offside rule altogether. They got rid of it in field hockey years ago, and the game (also because of a handful of other great changes) became better. Football is so ready for some radical new rules.
- Shorter games with a playclock that stops when ball isn’t in play
- Introduction if the selfpass after a free ball
- Unlimetd substitution (you don’t stop the game for a substitution),
- a penalty bench. If a player receives a yellow card he immediately sits 8 minutes on the penalty bench. Team can’t replace him duringthat period (a red card is still a red card.
- Two timeouts per game per team. You can only call for a timeout if your team has the ball on the opponent’s half.
- Smaller teams. Max 6 substitutes on the bench. So Mn City or PSG can’t bring unlimited starsplayers
Offside used to not be a thing but it made football pretty shit because people would just wait near the goal to scoop something up. Football doesn’t need radical new rules. It’s the most popular sport for a reason. However, the sport does need AI/VAR implemented better
I grew up in a time when a goalkeeper could just pick up the ball, anytime. It was horrible! It was a radical change to the game when they changed that rule. If people like you were in charge that would still be a thing. So yes, sometimes things need change. The game has evolved enormously, players have evolved and also fans have evolved (shorter attention span). Why so afraid of change?
Watching this with my Juventini cousins who are pro-var and they are fuming lmao
i mean you can be pro var and also pro common fucking sense too right
The way I see it VAR can (and likely has) be used as a tool to allow more corruption into the sport, by giving people time to decide whether to intervene or not, to officiate in whichever way, gives the outcome they want the highest likelihood to happen, I cannot be pro VAR for this reason alone.
Then you add in the fact goals are scored and people aren’t celebrating, taking joy and excitement out of the sport cannot be a good thing.
Nah not really, often those two things are in direct conflict of each other.
Would you let the goal stand?
It’s so tough because the whole point of VAR in relation to offsides is to be able to determine if something is offside or it isn’t, which in 99%+ of cases you can see. There are these occasions where something is technically offside, like with a sliver of someone’s boot or a tiny part of their shoulder, but it doesn’t feel like it’s really in the spirit of the rule. In those cases though you can’t say that you’ll allow it because offside is meant to be a black or white decision, and if you let these minuscule infringements go you then need to decide where the line is again.
The rule needs to be adapted so that every time someone is called offside everyone can agree that the striker was gaining an advantage.
There really needs to be a buffer zone for offsides calls.
There is no skill here, the defender didn’t make a conscious attempt to play the attacker offside by 5mm, it’s just pure luck.
I’d argue that any advantage an attacker gets inside 30cm is negligible, and hardly worth all this effort to penalise.
At, it feels like we roll the dice to see if a goal stands based on an offside call that neither player knew anything about.
Your proposal doesn’t change anything other than create an even more arbitrary point to argue about.
So that just moves the line 30cm. It doesn’t solve the problem. Imagine this exact same picture except Kean is 31cm past the last defender, the line is drawn at 30cm from the last man. Same problem
Sure in this case that would make this one definitively onside, but like I said there will be a time when a striker is ~30cm past the last defender and the line drawing becomes an issue again
But at least you can say he was well offside, and it would be much easier to take. It changes the narrative and players/fans will feel much less hard done by with tight calls.
"if my team had a goal disallowed because the was 31cm offside, it would be much easier to take.
I remember pre-var there was “same hight”
This is definitely same hight, no offside
I like how it simulates the fans too lol
They look like they are in jury duty.
Looks like fifa08 crowd
One of them has their legs crossed like they’re at a nice little evening party
They don’t look nearly as flabbergasted as in real life fans were.
When it’s this close just give the goal 🤦🏻♂️
Stuff like this is why I barely watch football anymore. Sucks all fun out of the game.
This isn’t clear and obvious. Lol
🤦♂️
That’s like a cm😭
Very unlucky for Kean and Juve, but there’s no argument to be made here. Offside is offside.
VAR and the modern offside calls are honestly killing all excitement in football. Make a run into the box basically 50/50 if it’ll stand. Implement the Arsène Wenger rule or just scrap this one atom of the attacker is offside nonsense.
Oh fuck off what is this nonsense 😂😂😂
The thing with recreating the players with 3D images instead of using the actual live image is tricky.
If the graphic designer chose generic 3D football boot template #1 instead of #2, the boot design might have been slightly slimmer and therefore not offside.
They shouldnt use 3D modelling to replace players. It’s not accurate. A ball is a ball. Players come in all different shapes and sizes.
!wave
Everyone who is complaining would you all be happy if he was called onside?
Bit much innit?
