They'll probably end up winning without a shot on target.Football is cruel, another jammy United win, but seeing them lose to City will be sweeter.

Of course he looks ahead of him from that angle. Just as the Conventry player looks offside from the other angle.I'm absolutely convinced Wan Bissaka's ahead of him. I think I might have lost my mind.
The ball has already travelled about 2 meters in that pic hasn't it?I'm absolutely convinced Wan Bissaka's ahead of him. I think I might have lost my mind.

I get how perspective works - it's more I'm still genuinely not seeing it. Again: I think I might have lost my mind.Of course he looks ahead of him from that angle. Just as the Conventry player looks offside from the other angle.
Yeah it wasn't the best example - tried to find a better one. More trying to show that AWB's ahead imo. I'm this close to printing out frame by frames and putting them on the wall with bits of string.The ball has already travelled about 2 meters in that pic hasn't it?
What’s the trial? I get it, you don’t want too big a change in one hit, but teams would adapt pretty quickly. It’d be interesting to see how teams set up differently.Maybe you'll get your wish after the trials. But I think it will change the game too much. Under the "daylight" rule this is onside and if this is onside then defending in football has to completely change.

it's laughable that it's come to this for united

Is this even that different really overall? You’ll still have VAR zooming in to see if there’s a millimetre gap between the 2 players and lines still being drawn.What’s the trial?

It's a rule that needs to change. Can't be off with your wee toe. Joke. Needs to be daylight between attacker and defender.If that happened to us you'd be screaming for VAR. He was offside like it or not.
I genuinely love that you've done this for me.I tried drawing my own lines using the vanishing point method. Obviously not as accurate as the software they use. When the ref draws the lines it produces a 1 pixel line somewhat like the image I made. The software then makes the lines wider (I believe to represent 10 centimeters) and if they touch it turns green. That's the built in margin of error the PL uses. So it's really really close to the margin of error but the system is saying he's more than 10 cm offside.

Why don't they just build in a bigger margin of error? Make it more favourable to the forward.I tried drawing my own lines using the vanishing point method.

I agree. That is the most subjective aspect of the decision. I remember reading a long while ago about something about the frame speed(?) made it very difficult to decide the EXACT moment the ball leaves the foot.How do they determine when the ball is played? Milliseconds difference in how thats interpreted makes a huge difference when it’s literal millimetres offside
Fair one. So let’s shake it up. Theoretically if there was no offsides. What would happen? Fair and equal for both teams. Would the ball just be lumped from one end to another? What do you reckon?Is this even that different really overall? You’ll still have VAR zooming in to see if there’s a millimetre gap between the 2 players and lines still being drawn.
