With VAR the criteria for overturning an offside call should be strictly only if the error is clear and obvious. A players shoulder being 2cm in front of the defenders body is not clear and obvious. Measuring these minute distances is not what I envisaged technology being used for.
It different from goal line technology in that a cm could be the difference between a goal or not a goal. The difference is there in black and white. With the offside rule it's impossible to determine if the end of your nose being offside offered any material advantage.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

The 2cm offside when players are, to all intents and purposes "level", is a nonsense.
And if the players are "level" then the advantage should lie with the attacking side.
Less hanging around waiting for decisions, more likelihood that already-celebrated goals will stand.
Clear rules that should be understood by all.
VAR should be a huge asset and still has the potential to be so. It just needs to be used properly, for lessons to be learned and for players and managers not to be twats about it.

Unlike fouls, dives or deliberate handball etc, offside, once technology is applied, is pretty much always clear and obvious, even if the margin is tiny.
If the information is available to the referees, they would have to use it. If it's obvious to the TV cameras that the player is 2 inches offside, the ref can't then say it's not obvious, if you follow.
Offside is offside. Over the line is over the line.Last edited by Hibbyradge; 26-03-2021 at 09:57 AM.

The words "Ach, it's ok, he was only 2 inches offside" will never be spoken by a manager or player. Unless their team has benefitted, of course.
Can you imagine the furore if the World Cup was decided by a goal which everyone, including the referee, knew was offside at the time?
I don't think there's ever going to be the tolerance in football to allow that.Last edited by Hibbyradge; 26-03-2021 at 10:01 AM.

(On the original topic – current offside is a bit of a mess, at least where VAR is used, but getting rid of it entirely is a truly terrible idea.)

If offside was scrapped altogether teams would put big forwards right up against the goalkeeper and try to get the ball to them as quickly as possible and as often as possible, something you could do from your own keeper's kickout without troubling the midfield in any way. Defences would be need to be organised to counteract that tactic. Trialing the rule change now would only tell you so much since games would have to be played with existing squads. Establish the new rule and clubs would start recruiting players who could operate that system - big, good in the air and able to get quickly from one box to the other as defence changes to attack and vice versa. Midfielders as we currently know them would cease to exist; actual ball skills would become much less important; the game would deteriorate into hoofball, set pieces, and shooting from distance, even more than it is now.

(Also, while in 99% of offside cases the ball does go forward, that's not part of the law and it's entirely possible to have an offside offence where the ball goes backward.)

I'd like to see it trialled that the line from offsides not counting gets moved from the halfway line to about 25 yards out - enough for the keeper to come out and hoover up a long ball if it gets punted up the pitch to a poacher.

It was tried in the Drybrough cup with no offside unless you were within 18 yds of the goal not deemed a success and dumped.

VAR should be restricted to the "clear and obvious" errors, so simply put a very short time limit on the review and restrict the number of times a given angle can be viewed.
If it's clear and obvious, it will be picked up quickly. If it's about whether the wind blew the attacker's nasal hair too far forward then it's not clear and obvious.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I agree with you when it comes to over the line in goal line decisions as that is a static situation with only one moving object and unless we can see the ball over the line it shouldn't be a goal.
