All goals are reviewed for offside as a matter of course.

Maybe it's another rule change but whenever I've seen var they've only overruled when it's clear and obvious, even when checking on a goal for offside

Which is frustrating because it stopped us attacking last week. But now you're allowed advantage? loving refs.


What's the controversy? Sterling was offside.

It's close enough to level to not be a clear error that needed looking at. VAR shouldn't be used to decide an armpit is a gnat's pube offside. I'm sure that we'll get a similar decision in our favour at some point this season but it's bad for football. Why even have assistants on the line?

Nope, he got it 100% wrong.

If the ball touches the referee (or another match official) and goes into the goal, team possession changes or a promising attack starts, a dropped ball is awarded

All goals are reviewed and offside is offside. A bit like ruling out a goal because goal line technology says it was 1mm away from crossing the line. As long as the decision is right people will get used to it quickly.

Offside and goal/no goal are both clear dividing lines. It's either a goal or not. It's either offside or not. We should absolutely be using the technology to settle these.

The “clear and obvious” stuff doesn’t apply to offside at all because it’s not a subjective call. You’re either offside or you’re not. It’s no different to denying a goal because a millimetre of the ball didn’t cross the line, that’s the rule.

So why have assistant refs then? Deciding which pixel is the point you draw the line from is within the margin of error for that decision being offside or not. In cricket, for example, that would have been umpire's call.

I was about to say, "starts" is terrible phrasing. Practically, you could always argue it had already started, assuming possession hasn't changed

cause the assistant refs helps with a lot of things, that arent reviewed by var?

he can still call obvious offsides that cant be judged by the main ref, and that arent reviewed by var (only goal, pens and red cards are reviewed...)

Giving offside isn't their only job and most decisions aren't down to the wire like that.

At what precise point does sterling's shoulder become his arm and thus shouldn't count when it comes to determining offside??

It's not an absolutely exact measurement, unlike whether the entirety of the ball crosses the line or not

But lol at it all evening out in the end about 20 minutes later

VAR has potential to be useful but the current implementation is bad when the thickness of the line drawn on the screen is 10x thicker than what can be called on or off by it.

Pretty sure it doesn't matter what part the ball touches. If any part of him is offside. It's offside.

Only parts of your body you can legally play the ball with can be classed as offside. Hands and arms don't count for playing you on/offside.
