How wide are the lines to be then ?
Lines are only reasonably wide on VAR screen so viewers can see it that way, they could just as easily reduce them to a piece of string size.
However wide you want that line to be, is the tolerance level you want to give to the attacker gaining an unfair advantage,
How inaccurate is the system? How far could the ball travel between frames? That's the width of the line.
The offside rule wasn't created to stop attackers being a couple of inches ahead of a defender. It was designed to stop goal hanging. Looking at offsides in such minute detail is harming the sport, especially when the system isn't accurate enough to make the decisions.
And I've just realized that this is the Son thread, not the VAR thread.
