It’s not Vardrid anymore
I can’t fathom that this is an offsides, it’s cunt-hairs. But both sides will argue forever.
I’m confused, are people thinking this should have been onsides?
Yeah I saw this image and wondered what I should be seeing that would make it a bad call. This is clearly offside, the rules of what body parts count have been the same for quite a while afaik. Before VAR this wouldn’t necessarily have been caught, but an alert linesman standing on the opposite sideline could also have seen his head poke out behind the defender and we’d congratulate him for catching it I think.
how do they decide the exact moment the ball is kicked forward?, all very well having the nice picture above, but to me there’s a second unknown which may have inaccuracies
There’s a chip in the ball that connects to the system.
Do they not draw the lines on the feet?
But you can legally score with your shoulder where the shirt sleeve is, more offside than the line looks
just make it feet or lower body at most, what is this nonsense
Offside based on the rules but surely we can start doing a center of mass vs center of mass type thing, no?
Like does Vinicious get an advantage having his head beyond the guys knee? Not really, his momentum was already beating the Braga players. Someone with an outstretched leg to poke in a cross should be commended for the effort of getting to the ball while the bulk of their body is behind the defender, not punished.
I dunno how the current tech works but don’t most players where wear monitor type kit anyway, surely that can house a device that counts as their centere of mass.
If my mom had consulted a better astrologer, I’d have chosen this as a career. No accountability, no consequences just apologies!
What are you waffeling about, half his head is off.
Shouldn’t the line be drawn at the head which would make the offside much clearer?
Please find the Maguire goal, where they show the offside line, it comes when VAR checks for the penalty. I am sure that he was offside. How can Vavros arm play him on? I don’t get it ?
Oh no what an unfair advantage, vini would have never beaten him without being offside.
Hate it
it should be measured from the feet
UEFA should realy change rule for this nosense, this is killing football.
Perfect example of why I tink the offside rule should be taken only the foot. The rule is there to stop goal tending. For me if an attacker times their run (which by the way, we celebrate attackers timing their runs as a strikers skill) and starts a foot race from behind the defender, then they should be considered on side. What advantage does Vinicius have here that the goal shouldnt stand, apart from timing his run exceptionally well?
The first thing that happens after a ball is passed, is a foot race. Not a shot. A foot race. So taking offside from the part of the body that can score makes zero sense. The number of goals scored that were not preceded by a foot race or movement of the feet into position, must be close to zero. Therefore the attackers advantage is not that they had a piece of goalscoring body part ahead of the defender, its that they were ahead of them in a race to the ball.
Is this not put forward elsewhere? Does anyone else agree? Feel like im losing my fucking mind.
