New proposed offside rule

[McBain]

I dont know how you could get it exactly right without using the same tech they use for goal lines.

I just wish they’d get rid of the passive offiside rule. How can a defender on the other side of the pitch play someone ‘on’ but not an attacker right next to the ball being played judged to not be affecting play.

So players need to be able to determine the position of their big toe while running to meet a cross into the box?

Why should the rules of football cater to a lack of spacial awareness?

Spacial awareness,where your toes are in relation to a defender ten metres away out of your line of sight... please.

Yeah said this new offside earlier, without it been said what the actual wenger new thing was, this to me may cause even more confusion,
the one v us last night with foot over is all it should be to be called offside, not if your arm or body is leaning over the line and that is classed as offside

Until recently I thought that was the case.

It had to be a body part one could score with...e.g. foot or head....ergo an arm being “offside” didn’t count as being so.

Ok. Your right. Lets abandon offsides and have 9-8 every game

Thatll be fun.

Offside is offside.

Offside is offside.

It worked for decades before VAR any 9-8 games you can link me.

 

[Steve Durham]

There should be clear daylight between players. Clear gap Offside , No clear gap Onside.

So if you run through miles offside but lay it off it stands as the pass to the scorer was fine? For someone to have been well offside from the initial pass would mean that the defending side hadn't been doing its job and then continued to fail by not preventing the final pass ending up as a goal being scored.

That scenario would mean the defending team wasn't doing its job.

 

[TheBigIguana]

That scenario would mean the defending team wasn't doing its job.

No it would mean the referees aren't

Offside is offside.

The whole 'offside is offside' thing sounds great and simple in theory but in practice the camera is a huge source of uncertainty. A lot can happen between the frames of a high speed camera. It makes those super tight offsides like Werner's against Liverpool questionable and when its that tight you can understand people wanting a margin of allowance.

 

[marcus]

Offside has always been controversial whatever the rules...

We now have VAR technology to enable correct decisions 100% of the time so it would be foolish not to take advantage...

Current rules are unfair for the attacking team as it favours the defending team, but under the Wenger proposal it would be reversed & favour the attacking side which has always been the objective...

I support the Wenger proposal it makes total sense to me...

 

[McBain]

There should be clear daylight between players. Clear gap Offside , No clear gap Onside.

So you are saying that an attacker can stand fully behind a defender, and as long as he stands so close to him that you cant see a gap he should be onside? That would be a disaster of a rule.

 

[B17BLG]

Not for me. Just leave it as it is. We are just moving where we measure the two players from.

 

[McBain]

So in the daylight rule is white onside if black is defending?

Yes would make the game between attacker and defender so much better. The attacker tries to steal a march on defender, the defender has to play tactful and skillfull and decide to defend or play offside. Make the defenders job much harder but this is more black and white than an armpit or toe.
