Bzzzz Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Can we get this tae fk pls? whilst it's annoying as fk cos we've nae idea what's actually going on players have to play to the whistle, there's a real possibility that someone could get injured AFTER the offside decision is triggered but before it is flagged...

bonzo Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Guaranteed it will take a career ending injury for them to realise how pish a rule it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but can't really see how else they can do it. If the whistle is blown as soon as the flag goes up then it would render VAR pointless. Surely VAR's biggest selling point is stopping goals being wrongly chalked off for offside 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a matter of time before some hammer-thrower defender sees it as an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the linesmans arse goes sometimes in the fear he'll be made to look a tool by VAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockholm 1980 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 They need to get back to there being clear daylight between defender and attacker to call offside, VAR calling offside for a baw hair, arms, legs in front of defenders is nonsense. Also if a through ball is played in the direction of an attacker who is beyond the line of defence and the ball takes a deflection off a defender stretching or attempting to intercept the pass, the attacker then become onside, if the defender makes no attempt to play the ball offside would be called. It is neigh near impossible to defend and react to make that type of judgement. That too is utter nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Pete Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Automated offside decisions are on the horizon anyway so hopefully if the computer identifies an offside move the ref will be notified straight away and he can blow the whistle there and then.

Deflections don't count because it needs to play a deliberate play by the defensive player and the law got tweaked this year to say that the defender also needs to have the ball under control so if they are stretching for it the attacker would still be offside.

Stockholm 1980 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Pleased the law changed, I was wrong to use the word deflection, but genuine attempts to intercept passes that weren’t 100 % executed and resulted in players in offside positions benefiting was totally wrong.
