Real fans complain about everything lmao he's offside look at the picture

[–] sunken_grade@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

this might be controversial, but i think goals like this should stand…

[–] Snoffyy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Do they not draw the lines on the feet?

[–] Naiko32@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

just make it feet or lower body at most, what is this nonsense

[–] crisselll@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m confused, are people thinking this should have been onsides?

Is it his head that’s offside? Not sure on the rules now.

[–] Cavaniiii@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Love this technology. Look how accurate it is. The only issue is I have in situations like this is that I just don't understand how an advantage is gained to an unfair degree. Of course you can't have everything and whilst the rules state that this is offside then I'm happy for it to be called, but for the sake of the game I would like to see decisions like this have a different ruling. It's a pretty hard road to navigate.

[–] Jhushx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You can score a goal with your shoulder or head, so it was accurately called judging by the depiction

[–] tarekelsakka@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It feels like VAR and refereeing in Europe are better than in some top leagues, the amount of shitty mistakes even using that same fucking technology in La Liga & EPL is unbelievable.

[–] simianjim@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They don't use the same technology. This screenshot is from the semi-automated VAR system used by the Champions League. Not sure about La Liga, but the Premier League don't use the semi-automated system, it's completely manual.

[–] tarekelsakka@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Then they need to adopt that system. We've already seen too many crucial mistakes by idiots controlling VAR (ex Liverpool disallowed goal) that cost teams points.

[–] odigaras@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ridiculous rules

[–] KingTolis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don’t get it his hand are onside.

[–] Comrade-Conrad-4@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I can't fathom that this is an offsides, it's cunt-hairs. But both sides will argue forever.

[–] Helwinter@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Modern offside is shit. Truly shit. There’s no substantial or measurable advantage here.

[–] johnnybazookatooth@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

the offside line does not make sense with the line on the field, bad prospective here.

[–] akshay_rathod_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Nati-Nevada@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Remember when we gave great offensive play the advantage in a game that favors natural quality densive play?

[–] Pieter8720@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Looking at it from the actual replay, I was certain it could not have been offside. But this shows it as offside so nothing to complain about actually…

[–] ImAnApe_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bullshit. All of it. That’s a fraction of a second difference right there and probably less than an inch… what about the right moment when the kicker passed the ball? Could have been a fraction of a second before or after and it would change everything too.. I mean, I get the positive aspect of the VAR and all but man.. calling an offside that close is just BS.

[–] SunstormGT@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why? He is over the line. Saying calling offside that close is BS, is BS…

[–] RomeoSki@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Okay hear me out…the head and other body parts shouldn’t count unless they are the part that controls the ball. His head is offside but his feet aren’t which is what he uses and controls the ball with.

[–] kick_these_blues@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They made a 3D computar rendered image! So thats 100% reliable because technology and pixels!

[–] DomRM14@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Do they count the head? Thats interesting

[–] tttttfffff@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

As the laws of the game stand it is offside, however I do feel like it should be measured from the feet. I know you can score with your head, but there is always going to be a certain amount of lean while sprinting. Arms/shoulders shouldn’t come into play because a defender on the half turn is going to have their arm out for balance as they’re turning (shown in the photo). I’d prefer feet as the point of measure, but from the current rules it is offside. Fine margins at such high speed though.

[–] Larkinz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

it should be measured from the feet

This. They should look at feet only, that seems like the most fair. And to add to that I'd say one foot of the attacker would have to be behind a defender's foot in its entirety for it to be offside, not just a toe.

Offsides should be judged by foot position only, change my mind.

[–] Whatisreddit69@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Given the current technology, Offsides should be determined by the part of the body that touches the ball first. If a player uses the foot, that’s the mark. If the player uses the shoulder measure from that. Then you get away from a head being offsides but the feet are on and the first touch was the foot (no offside advantage with the body part that actually mattered).

[–] MrFabianS@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The call is obviously a correct one. My personal belief is that the laws of the game in conjunction with the technology we have should change to allow these plays to stand and count as goal. It’s frustrating to see such offsides like this stand when the reality is the attacker isn’t gaining an actual advantage with the 3 inches of space

[–] Luisgtz41@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

My argument is that offsides should be determined by one’s center of gravity and not extremities.

[–] ec265@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What happens if a player was leaning back with their foot stretched forward to control the ball?

[–] Luisgtz41@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Would still go down to the center of gravity. If we’re standing next to each other, shoulder to shoulder, and I reach with my leg to make a play on the ball, I’m not creating an unfair advantage on the defender. Defender has the ability to reach with their leg and intercept as well.

[–] ec265@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fair

FWIW I’m in agreement - for me something needs to change as I don’t think the above should be offside, no matter how technically offside it is. As you say it’s about creating an unfair advantage, which there isn’t in the above for me (and I realise the then issue of subjectivity, but then that’s where centre of gravity would be interesting).

[–] Luisgtz41@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yep. At some point I feel like the rule will be adjusted but maybe I’m just wrong haha. Most ppl seem to prefer the black and white VAR decisions.

I think offside should be checked on the foot positions only.

[–] elBoludo10@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Too much head

[–] stpstrt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Typical offside that on the screen it’s questionable, but then you see this and it’s a no brainer.

[–] DepletedMitochondria@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] WishyRater@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think this is a bit much 😬 Im not saying the call is ‘wrong’ but this surgical precision we are trying to extract out of the sport is taking away a lot of the magic, in my opinion. Realistically, how big of an advantage does Vini gain from his head being 5cm offside?

[–] Stay_Beautiful_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think it should be the feet tbh but that may be an unpopular opinion

[–] blither86@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just make it feet for fuck sake

[–] Busquessi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

VARcelona strikes again, thanks Laporta!

[–] InnocentPossum@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Offside based on the rules but surely we can start doing a center of mass vs center of mass type thing, no?

Like does Vinicious get an advantage having his head beyond the guys knee? Not really, his momentum was already beating the Braga players. Someone with an outstretched leg to poke in a cross should be commended for the effort of getting to the ball while the bulk of their body is behind the defender, not punished.

I dunno how the current tech works but don't most players where wear monitor type kit anyway, surely that can house a device that counts as their centere of mass.

[–] EducationalTension72@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If my mom had consulted a better astrologer, I’d have chosen this as a career. No accountability, no consequences just apologies!

[–] IamPd_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What are you waffeling about, half his head is off.

[–] buildwithchris@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Shouldn’t the line be drawn at the head which would make the offside much clearer?

[–] WeAreColoured@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Please find the Maguire goal, where they show the offside line, it comes when VAR checks for the penalty. I am sure that he was offside. How can Vavros arm play him on? I don't get it ?

[–] Looking4Maria@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh no what an unfair advantage, vini would have never beaten him without being offside.

Hate it
