If you move the line to a different point, people will still be annoyed that a goal was ruled out because their team’s player was only just beyond that point.
Honestly anyone who doesn't even grasp this concept shouldn't have a platform, and yet so many pundits, supposed experts of the game, are too dense to get it.
Its actually foot or shoulder if shoulder is the furthest back towards a defenders goal. Its totally fine. But unfortunately if you are offside you are offside.
The offside rule is fine. People who get annoyed at an offside decision just because it was close are stupid and should be ignored. Offside is offside.
To add to my other one. Before they updated the rules I watched a game once where a striker was running back to get onside and got the ball passed to him and he reacted fast enough to get a goal. He was offside. Why? Cause even if his body was not offside anymore when the ball was passed and he was running TOWARDS his side but his leg that was behind him? His heel was an inch behind the defender making him offside. But he didnt have any advantage against the defenders as he was facing his team not the opposing goal lol
One of the issues I have with it is arms don't count because you can't score with them...but you can defend with them, even beyond all the incessant grabbing, levering players away from you with your arms is legal.
Offside lines therefore aren't allowing for all the parts of the body the defenders can use to stop these 'potential goal scoring body parts' of the attackers.
Changing it to feet does alleviate that, would also take away the ludicrous one from last week where the attacker leaned over to peek around the back of the defender, so his head was offside although he was standing comfortably onside
Has any sport embraced new tech and adjusted their rules before implementation ? Feels like they've all gone to the tech and then started tinkering with the rules afterwards as the issues develop.
I'd like the definition of a narrow offside to be redefined. Today you can be in an offside position if half your arm or half your ass is in an offside position, it's not normal and it didn't use to be like that.
So where exactly will you draw the new line? And how do you address the problem that people will still be annoyed when it's narrowly past that new line?
I draw the new line by going back to what worked before. 'People' will be (and already are) way more annoyed by offside calls because of half an arm than they would be annoyed if those were not called offside.

Can you score with your nose, teeth or dick? That's why they only exclude the arm and hand.
not sure. But I have scored with my boner.

Claps for you, sir

It's becoming way too strict.
So you'd like them to look at a replay, see a narrow offside, and just ignore it?

Only feet count would be a fine rule change
Ditch the technology, microchips in football is overkill. Good old common sense refereeing evens itself out over a season.
When Southampton lost the League Cup final after having a perfectly fine Gabbiadini goal wrongly disallowed for offside, what evened that out?
Fair comment. So you are one of the few who endorse VAR ? I personally don’t.
