This isn’t clear and obvious. Lol
The only thing that matters in these situations is the center of balance of the players and the part of the body which they use to control the inbound pass. But this, when both players are facing the opposite direction of the goal, is ridiculous.
It’s offside? Like it’s like a millimeter off but offside is an offside it would be a wrong decision if it was given a goal
It’s more about the questionable accuracy from this computer rendered image and further more about how the frame to check the offside is decided.
What if they chose a frame too early or late, which could make the difference of being off- or onside in this case.
The original purpose of the offside rule is being completely dismantled.
It is, 1 mm offside is still offside by the rules.
That’s just stupid
Oh, look at the “massive advantage” 0.5mm Kean got from this position.
Shameful
🤦♂️
I mean… lol?
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
Would you let the goal stand?
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.
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.
I remember pre-var there was “same hight”
This is definitely same hight, no offside
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.
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.
Your proposal doesn’t change anything other than create an even more arbitrary point to argue about.
The rule needs to be adapted so that every time someone is called offside everyone can agree that the striker was gaining an advantage.
Idiotic. How do they even know they have the exact frame correct for when the pass was made?
I like how it simulates the fans too lol
They look like they are in jury duty.
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.
Looks like fifa08 crowd
That’s actually insane lmao
I still think this is against the spirit of the law. The offside rule is not supposed to be affected by millimeters. It’s supposed to make sure someone’s not waiting behind the defense for the ball
You have to draw the line somewhere (pun intended) so you’ll still have those „millimeter decisions“ at some other place.
Long studs vs short studs
This is not football anymore.
These calls are getting ridiculous.
