Oh! I always thought that the offside was judge at the point the ball leaves the passing foot, rather than the point the passing foot first makes contact with the ball. |  | |  |

It's moot anyway, the only way you'd be able to tell when the ball first makes contact or when it leaves the foot is with a specialist camera that has a ridiculously high frame rate. That's why offside should be left to the on-field decision unless it's clear daylight decision that's been missed. |  | |  |

Totally agree. The offside line is measured to the millimetre, it seems (centimetre, at least), but they cannot measure to within, say, 0.05 seconds when the pass was made. A sprinting player can cover almost 10m/ second = 1m / 0.1 secs = 50cm within the margin of error of the delivery of the ball. So, offside by less than 2 feet (in old money) is unreliable. |  | |  |
Offside law change on 19:03 - Jun 13 with 577 views | mellowblue | that is a good wangle. So if you maintain contact with the ball, your striker makes the run, still keeping contact you then prod it through past the defenders, the striker would not be offside as far as VAR is concerned. Sounds mad. |  | |  |

I think the semi-automated offside has a sensor in the ball. It's probably easier for the system to identify when contact has initially been made as the sensor will pick this up. That might account for the change to rule. |  |

That makes sense, I guess! Id forgotten about the ball sensors to be honest! It would also depend on the footage being perfectly aligned with the ball sensor though. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Yep. Sounds nuts and I wonder what the ref/var would do in that scenario. The rule change is very odd too. Thorn point out the scoop pass loophole, Ifab acknowledge this… and then change a rule relating just to the keepers. Er, ok. |  |
