It really isn't, would we start to compare players' pace stats from FIFA and try to determine how far ahead the attacker can be? Maybe add acceleration too to some formula? :lol:

I would prefer some small safety margin too with the current technology but it isn't in the rules. Problem with not going with the black and white method is that then we would be complaining about which is or isn't clear and obvious. Is 5 inches good but if it's 6 inches make it an offside? We would just change the subject but the same arguments stay.

I just think it's completely unsuited to offside*, period. What was the original purpose of the rule? Answer: to prevent attackers from gaining an unfair advantage. What exactly is the purpose of the rule as it is implemented now?

I loathe the marginal offside calls but I didn't think that was. Chilwell was offside with the naked eye, it was easy to see because of the edge of the area. I did really want Leicester to win though so I was slightly biased. I really can't stand this Chelsea side, they're so robotic under Tuchel. Hope Man City wipe the floor with them.

Alioski has been reported for racism by Burnley

He blew a raspberry too, it was all very odd. Not sure if he said anything but McNeil definitely did to him beforehand. The ref went and spoke to the benches for a bit after too but then carried on as normal.

I think you’ll be in the minority with that one. That was as marginal as they come. They should bring daylight in next season if they insist on keeping VAR and see if that helps. Hopefully it’s scrapped all together. Championship has benefited from it.

It wasn't as marginal as they come like. This was given offside.

Today was clear with the naked eye. Soyuncu is comfortably behind the line of the penalty area while Chilwell is level with it. I'm more than happy to bin the whole thing but if they brought in an umpire's call/daylight system, today would still have been offside.

There feet are level. There’s no daylight between them at all. I’d give that as onside personally ?‍♂️ 

But Chilwell's shoulder is ahead of Soyuncu, so he's offside. That's been the whole ongoing argument with the current law - you can be offside with part of your body you can't play the ball with. What sort of advantage are you gaining from it?

And VAR is only their for clear and obvious and this not being either the other argument also. I agree it’s farcical. It should be feet if a free kick spray is used for the wall to line up feet.
 

Doesn’t take into account someone carrying more weight and therefore being less than 10 yards away from his teammates who are thinner or have smaller feet ? 

Seriously I’d be raging if that went against us. Take away the lines. Marginal in my eyes.

To think Vardy could have pissed it all away after Leicester’s title win by going to Arsenal as well. Would have probably been at a lesser Premier League club or the Championship if he’d left. Love that he’s stayed there.
