This is the chance I was referring too

that line is a mess, follow the cut of the grass instead

I reckon he was actually on

Harsh! @elltrev has done alright for a quick effort. From that frame, which I'll assume to be at the exact moment the ball was struck (and really, don't get me started on the error bars that should be involved with that), it does seem that Rashford's onside -- certainly if you're giving the attacker the benefit of the doubt. Tight enough that I'd be happy to give it as "lino's call" if we actually had a sensible VAR system.

The ball hadn’t left his foot in my frame and out defenders were going forward
Good effort though

It won't be a parallel line with the grass line. Perspective. Think of looking down a train track. The further away the closer the rails look to each other.

 

[Chrissivad]

Yeah, you need to find the vanishing point and then draw the line

fudge me, offside really is a pain in the hole isn’t it? It obviously has to exist but we all know what should and shouldn’t be deemed offside within the spirit of the rule. And frequently stuff is being adjudged offside that “shouldn’t” be. But, ultimately, it is a black and white rule.

Id love to see many goals from the past that we never even questioned that would be deemed offside with todays technology.

will be closer to parallel than 90 degrees though

To me he looks offside. Just pointing out it's not a parallel line. Lot of people seem to judge it that way, which is misleading.

Pretty sure ai could take over the job and have instant results. No questions. No waiting.

Thanks to VAR, our points are always vanishing.

Is the integrity of the game now coming down to how straight the groundsman has cut the grass and painted the lines?

We’ll soon have throw on and corner checks and 20 minutes added time per half.

Could have markers printed on the pitch similar to the yardage ones in NFL, potential sponsor opportunity too.

Would help with offsides for VAR I think.

No it would not help VAR. VAR doesn't need lines on the pitch. It's already programmed into the system. The lines are like a movable wall, set parallel to the goal line.

how are they getting it wrong then?

I think that wall line is the new version. I'm not sure if it's being widely used yet.

Checking throw ins would take hours, hardly anyone takes them properly.
