@MC_of_A@BaltimoreSpurs I don’t have a problem with the millimetre marginal calls, I have a problem that the current marginal calls are disallowing goals where those millimetres can’t possibly represent an advantageous starting position for the attacker - which is what the offside rule was designed for
@NUFC_Index I think that’s the wrong way to think about it... you either have an advantage from the position you’re in when the ball is played, or you don’t.
@NUFC_Index Using VAR to apply “the letter of the law” so compulsively is absolutely not worth the sacrifice of the flow of the game and ecstasy of a goal. In fact, it’s farcical
@NUFC_Index You could say that that’s an issue with the offside rule rather than VAR, but that rule was devised in a time when video review was inconceivable and the fair employment of the rule was left to the discretion of referees
