Much prefer this rule than being offside by a pubic hair

VAR is for clear and obvious mistakes, offside is binary so if the tech say they are offside then it’s clear and obvious they are offside if we believe the tech is correct.
I might be mistaken but I don’t think offsides go to VAR as a red card decision but more to the tech to check if the decision was correct. Commentators just say BAR are checking which I think is technically incorrect.
They will still be offside by a pubic hair but daylight plus the pubic hair. The line needs to be drawn somewhere all that it dos is moves the line. You’ll still get players offside by 1mm or a public hair. It solves nothing.

This for me as well. VAR is crap

Why don’t make it if the feet (or a foot) is past the last defender? Would be a lot simpler
Brian Clough had it right - if a player is on the pitch he’s interfering with play

Be hilarious, full on goal hanger like you used to get in school. Corners would be a laugh as you’d just leave 2 or 3 up and if the keeper catches it just long ball.Or try a season with no offsides how about that
because you’d still get the exact same issue of people crying about them only being a toenail offside.
Any body part, any player on the pitch (in opposition half) is a simple way, anything else is making a simple issue more complicated for no additional benefit.

Thought it was Bill Shankly who said that not Cloughy

No think it was Cloughie. Shankly said the one about football being more important than life and death, but not sure what he said about offside
Just jam

Would still be the same just the other way around

Should have it like ice hockey as long as the toe is on the blue line youre onside . Often see a player trailing a skate to stay on side . Difference is in Hockey i suppose its when you receive it not when its passed . Still, might work but we'd probably need VAR even more as forwards would end up toe tapping behind the line . That might make for a better game than continually holding back but might push defenses deeper .

It just makes it easier for the strikers instead of favouring defence which has it's pros and cons as you'd think it leads to more goals and more excitement though it could just lead to tactical changes that actually make the game duller.VAR is for clear and obvious mistakes, offside is binary so if the tech say they are offside then it’s clear and obvious they are offside if we believe the tech is correct.

We will have to see.
Easiest thing for VAR would be to have a proper offside rule, not of this isn't interfering with paky bullshit and let the ref/linesman call it then VAR can call them back if it's just something ridiculous and clearly offside. Just no need to be spending five plus minutes analysing a pinky toe.

I'd not say it was favouring anyone, its just a law that gives nobody any advantage, we arent getting loads of boring 0-0 games with 5 goals ruled out for 1mm offsides. We just need a basic offside of if any part of your body is in front of the defender in their half yourself offside, youre on the pitch so you're interfering. Full automated with the latest tech so it doesnt take 5 minutes. Ridiculous is another wishy washy word that shouldnt be involved, I'd think Wissa being 2mm offside in an FA cup Final v Sunderland was ridiculous if tech showed it within 20 seconds and it stopped us winning it, ridiculous example but where do we draw the line?

So.you saying that many players are not wearing shorts and underpants?
So if a player has, shall we say, a big appendage, they are more likely to be called offside? Or less likely if small?
Similarly, what about women and sports bra's
Just asking for a friend.

Oh he's modified and removed the words ".... unless he's wearing an Arsenal shirt."
Just do away with offside if the ball is passed to a player in the same half.
Alternatively, I've long thought that doing away with offside when the pass is between two players in the opponent's penalty area should be tried out.
It's infuriating when a goal is chalked off for offside because the scorer reacted faster than the defender.
Playing offside isn't conducive with entertainment, the defender deciding when the striker can move for the ball kills the fun.
It's absolutely mental that you can be offside from a flick on from a corner with a defender all over you.
If they can't get competent officials to operate it, just scrap it.

It's clear that while the idea is sound and the technology is fine, the people doing the VAR are fcking idiots or blind. The England game v Uruguay, for example...
If they can't get competent officials to operate it, just scrap it.
Same rule for both teams, though. If it increases goals per game, it'll make it more entertaining. Not saying i'm for or against it, mind. I don't know what to think.

I really don't get this thing about more goals = more entertainment. Is that honestly what fans want? Goals are hard to come by and special as a consequence. I thought that was the whole appeal.
He's spot on.
