why?

Cos that’s what we had before

Sporting integrity of the league. Everyone should play everyone else with the same squad so nobody gets to play weaker teams. The window should be shut when games are played. The Jan window isn't ideal, but pretty much marks the half way point so at least everyone generally plays the same number of games against the same squads. But it's not good enough and should be scrapped.

Where is the outrage on social media over this?

Same place as the outrage of City fans attacking a team bus in the past

This is insane. Seems so arbitrary. Why 10cm? Why is 10cm ok? What if you're 11cm offside? Why is that offside and 10cm isn't? Why, in a bid to improve the current shambles, would they decide to piss around measuring 10 ****ing centimetres?!

Any measure of leeway will just have people whinging it's so close to that cut off.

I've posted on match day threads that the VAR implementation when it comes to offside is spot on. Offside is offside is offside . There's been a fair amount that disagree with that and the question then is 'well what's acceptable?' If this is the answer then

Offside is offside. VAR is great when it comes to deciding that

This proposal isn't any more the answer than the current flawed system.

I won't go into the details again, as I've done it ad nauseum already.

You have defended it well admittedly

If having a buffer is the answer then it surely only muddies the water more

Well no.

Make the buffer out of something you can measure accurately. Like pixels on the screen you're viewing the replay on. Not centimetres on a football pitch.

It's not just a case of accurately measuring distances, but of timing and velocity.

Anyway, I'm on the road to going on about it again so I'll just....

So if the equipment that measures offside is exact, then is having a zero buffer ok?

Yes, but it isn't.

[Norbs]

Yes, but it isn't.

Cool. So they need to improve the measuring device/method but essentially offside's sorted by VAR. Begs the question, sorry, that if the current equipment is giving a blurred result then any buffer needs to work in both directions therefore the middle reading is still the same
