Arsene Wenger's new offside law
|
|
the hated offside law is about to change under proposals from Arsene Wenger .
It would mean a player is still onside if ANY part of his body that could score overlaps the defender.
it effectively means there has to be clear daylight between the players.
Trials will take place in the Chinese league, before being confirmed by FIFA.

The man in the street could have thought of this, hardly needed Wenger. Hopefully it will go through as will mean more goals standing.

Good law. VAR isn't good enough to pin point exactly when the ball was kicked so saying a player is 1 mm offside is wrong.

This is what it always should have been
If they line up the dodgy lines & say 2mm of your back foot is past the last defender you will feel less hard done by as you had a whole body width to work with in staying onside.

VAR will always be about milimetres though - now it will be was there a mm of daylight at the point the ball was kicked. VAR needs a margin of error to account for limitations in frame rates and frame selections (e.g the gap has to be at least 15cms or some such...where less, it's within margin of error and left as onside

Did Wenger SEE if it was offside?

Didn't we have this law some seasons ago (daylight).

A sensible proposal? I’m not having it - where’s the catch?

As Stubbo said, it will still come down to drawing lines and wondering if the VAR froze the picture on exactly the right frame.

They just need a margin of error allowed like they do in cricket.
20cm margin of error, the goal is allowed but VAR decides to roll it back and the decision didn't wrong by more than 20cm then the original decision stands. More than 20cm and it's overruled. 20cm is just an example.
It would stop goals being ruled out for someone's toenail keeping someone onside which really fucking rankles.
It may be that the technology doesn't allow for this at the moment.
Obviously having someone competent reffing and VARing would make a world of difference too.

Lily/Stubbo - You are right of course, but it WILL mean more goals being allowed, which I assume is the whole point.

As with most footie laws they just need a bit of common sense.
Most normal fans when seeing an offside goal by 2 inches before var wouldn't complain about it, you'd just understand why it wasn't seen and feel a tiny bit aggrieved, it was the ones like the Liverpool goal against us a couple of years ago that was a metre office that really fucked you off, as you knew plain amd simple the officials were being biased towards certain clubs and cheating. Easily wiped out looking at it for 2 seconds. Anything that requires lines being put over here there and everywhere to determine a blokes hard on being offside is simply killing the game, yet blatant cheating and diving is massively acceptable still.
Odd cunts run the game, that's for sure.

If you think offside in football is hard to understand, try offside in ice hockey, they have "Icing" as well, that goes completely over my head

Will still need ridiculous lines being drawn to decide if there is 'daylight'.

Pretty sure I've actually seen this proposal on here, before I heard of Wenger pushing it.
Of course, I don't know Wenger's username on WHO...

I said this the other day on another thread. Didnt realise Wenger was actually going to push it through. Makes complete sense and will lead to far more goals and less of this "defensive block" stuff. Be very risky holding a line, you'd need to push forward 100% of commit to man marking.
