Exactly. Moving the point of reference solves nothing if the law is supposed to be judged as millimetre-precise as it is being judged today.While I like it in theory, it won't change anything other than now we'll be looking at badly drawn MS Paint lines showing a shoelace arguably overlapping, it just moves the point of reference.
The offside rule isn't the problem, the margins for error in VAR are the problem.
Exactly this. Stop fucking about drawing lines and discussing whose pubes are offside. Have a look, make a call in 30 seconds (I’d prefer 10), or if you can’t then the refs decision stands, right or wrong.All it will change is the amount of goals given instead of taken away.
What needs to change is the review time. If it's not "clear and obvious" within a 30 second time span then the onfield ruling remains.

That's funny, but when I stop to think about it, I can actually imagine that being done by crowds. Obviously, not a full thirty-second one, but how hard would it actually be if say, whenever there's a VAR check, the crowd start counting down from 10 and then if they get to zero without an outcome, they do the Countdown noise?I would love to hear the crowd with this at one end of the ground -
