@tapdesuro6@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard this is a fair point, it’s 100% an imperfect solution w trade offs but i never proposed it as a magic fix, just that it doesn’t make sense saying the only options are to live with a frustrating offside rule or scrapping it entirely when the rule could almost certainly be improved
@mightyneiner@boredgm@parandeye_zard i’m not sure why you are getting so worked up and agitated over something so trivial, you said there’s effectively nothing to be done about the present frustration with offsides and i proposed an alternative after like 10 seconds of thinking, i never said it was the best solution
@boredgm@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard no, what isn’t complicated is understanding the placement of the line that players ride closely determines the type of game that can be played. do you think that if, for instance, to be onsides an attacker had to be completely behind the defender that the game wouldn’t change?
@mightyneiner@boredgm@parandeye_zard that’s very rich considering that your whole position ignores the long history of the offsides rule being amended with many of those changes occurring to facilitate more energetic offense, you sound like someone who started watching football in 2019
@martin_e_b@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard you are never going to be able to remove the existence of close calls in any game that is played by rules, what you can do is write the rules such that those calls are infrequent and the placement of the line makes sense. the current offsides rule does neither.
@boredgm@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard if you can’t see how something like my proposed rule change wouldn’t make it much easier for players to time offensive breaks leading to more dynamic, exciting play and a more fluid game rather than endless back passing broken up by VAR review, then idk what to tell you
@EgoPanik@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard no, we wouldn’t, because the frustration with the current offsides rule comes from how non-sensical the line drawing is. place the line in a more intuitive position and much of this debate evaporates because the offensive player has an obvious advantage when over the line.
@boredgm@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard yes, but it would make it easier to stay onsides which reduces the occurrence of offsides calls generally, and the millimeter close calls are much less frustrating when the player is a full body length ahead of the defender.
@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard you misunderstand me. the goal isn’t to eliminate close calls, which are inherent to any game played by rules. the goal is to reduce their incidence and make the close calls intuitive, as all good rules do. the current offsides does neither, and changing it would improve the game
@mightyneiner@parandeye_zard this is such a needlessly obtuse false dilemma lmfao, you could very easily just amend the current offside rule such that an offensive player with any part of their body in line with or behind the body of the defender would be onside
@slayranghae we mortgage the franchise betting on a weighty asf ring solidifying ovi top 5 oat beyond all doubt or we lose fucking everything and our lives are ruined. i’m all in.
@vvhhaatt@6Dermite@CapsChirp@dicnowder ya now that the hopium has worn off bra there was no chance we were ever getting robertson, chris patrick calls with 4 first rounders and “ivan miroshnichenko” n dallas farts on the phone then hangs up lmao, delusion was hella fun while it lasted though
@vvhhaatt@6Dermite@CapsChirp@dicnowder would have preferred robertson obv but assume this deal happens bc we weren’t able to come to an agreement w dallas, super excited abt this forward core team went from maybe making the second round if everyone overachieves to being a contender in the east
@CapsChirp@vvhhaatt@6Dermite@dicnowder dallas will 100% ask for a player/prospect which is why i said picks alone would be the easiest yes in the world lol, i fear miro and cristall are not long for this world
@vvhhaatt@6Dermite@CapsChirp@dicnowder 2026 caps offense w robertson would be deepest in the league and those would be bottom draft picks, getting a certified A-lister for a bunch of 5-year prospect picks is the easiest decision imaginable, give me a ~10% shot at an ovi retirement cup + post ovi core n fuck dem picks
@chaseahcheck3@Def1qnt@PrimeBrunson@KnicksMuse spending these youth nights trolling on twitter instead of stepping outside i feel bad for you bra, one day you will be old and wonder where the time went grats on graduating doe
