flyingscot Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 It's marginal and you have to hope they placed the lines and everything correctly. The length of time taken to get to that decision was unacceptable however it needs to be a quicker process. I know we probably lack the budget for it, but more technology to automate it has to be the way forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if you have to be drawing daft lines and spending ages working on what millimetre of a player's body is closest to the goal, then it's too close to call and they should stick with the onfield decision. I know that 'clear and obvious' doesnt apply to offsides, but I'd let the VAR watch it back a couple of times. If it's clearly offside then give it. If it's not then stick with the decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it should only be offside if all of the attacker is beyond the second last opponent. Surely we want more goals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we want more goals? That would certainly be easier for strikers to know if there onside. Although we could end up having the same argument, just with the line moved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would it change how defences would operate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadowroadsaint Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Have to credit the two lads on the Hearts commentary yesterday. (Couldn't get the Saints one) Definitely the best away guys I have heard for a long long time. Unbiased and good analysis throughout. Called it as it happened very well. Five Stars from me. P.S. Some of the stuff picked up from the nutters near the TV microphones is beyond cringeworthy, utterly embarassing IMO. We are obviously famous for our Booooooing, it's become a thing for all the other Clubs but, regarding above, act your age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youd have less goals as teams would sit 10 yards deeper. Wengers being trying to force it through for years so no doubt it'll happen eventually and be a complete farce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if defences sat 10 yards deeper then forwards would either match them up or have more space to work with in front of them? Anyway it’s great to have such talking points with another 3 points in the bag. We have certainly been entertained with the team this season and plenty of talking points about the officiating. Onwards and upwards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onwards and upwards! If strikers can be onside if just their foot is level with a defender, then teams will treat it like the offside rule doesnt exist as itll be almost impossible for CBs to both watch play and the striker. Just now they can do both fairly easily for the most part. Youd also need to have CBs who can gain at least a yard on any striker whereas now they just have to match them.

The offside decision, the Mandron decision, the Aberdeen double touch penalty and the 'non-goal' against Dundee were all made by humans, not tech. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
