I agree that it is ridiculous, but you have to draw the line somewhere
No matter where you draw the line, this will happen eventually. I don’t see the issue here. It’s the nature of an objective rule.
It is an offside though lol. By a few millimetres but offside nonetheless .
For as much as it sucks you need to draw the line somewhere. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you’re not. I don’t see why they should change the rules.
You have to draw the line somewhere. Same issue with track limits in Formula 1 and Moto GP
They should just pick a spot on the body and that’s what matters every time. It should be based on the center of the torso, like right between the chest. This idea of a goal scoring body part is nonsense. Body parts don’t score goals, players do, and they manipulate those parts with their muscles. Having a head offside means nothing of the feet are behind. Having the back of heel off is meaningless if the torso is on and facing the other direction.
The whole point of the rule is to prevent a player from gaining an advantage from hanging out beyond the last defender. If two players are shoulder to shoulder, does anyone really think there’s an advantage to the one with a different foot position? Just put a sensor on the front and back of every shirt. The spot in between is the center of the players mass, and a computer can make that call in real time with perfect accuracy every time. If we want an objective rule, then make it totally fucking objective.
I’m sure you’ll feel differently about this when Juve gets a call going their way in the near future.
I fucking hate Juve, but you guys need to think logically. How tf does this give Keane an advantage? They need to implement the new offsides rules because this is getting ridiculous.
