Definitive rule, the watch buzzes it's offside, blow the whistle, move on. None of this but his left pinky is offside shite. I get what you're saying but you'd still be getting pulled for your eyelash being ahead of the last defender. That's not what offside is about.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Maybe players just need to adapt to the scrutiny they know they're going to be under when playing on the shoulder of the last man and time their runs accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't stand around at the match for ages wondering what the fuck is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the thread I started when this was announced. I don't need to. People are just twisting on because calls that linesmen were previously unable to make are now being made, when they should be lauding the improved accuracy and consistency. The technology needs to improve to reduce margin for error. A better fps rate will sort that out. And they need to work on making calls faster. These are teething issues.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'd add that as a premier league stadium requirement, clubs should be made to ensure all supporters in the ground are able to see a screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Going off players feet instead of various body parts would reduce the need to draw vertical lines and thus make calls much faster. Better fps. Screens around stadiums. Sorted. I've sorted VAR out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19750 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The way it’s being used to overturn offsides that aren’t obvious to the naked eye, even when watched in super slowmo, is clearly bollocks and has to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Just seen the West Ham highlights for yesterday. They are taking the piss now. Noble kicks the ground, falls over and VAR refuse to overturn the penalty Then Cresswell 2 foots a player and gets a red card, commentators agree it's the right decision. VAR then makes the ref give him a yellow instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
