Interesting study showing VAR isn't accurate enough for close decisions such as offside. After Liverpool it's no surprise...

I wonder if in future there'll be a way to use the data box things that players wear as GPS devices to help with offside decisions.
I'm a complete luddite when it comes to technology so forgive me if this is bollocks.
This is pretty much coming in the form of semi-automated offside, large numbers of cameras and sensors able to flag to the VAR whenever a player in an offside position receives the ball.I wonder if in future there'll be a way to use the data box things that players wear as GPS devices to help with offside decisions.

It just needs to be a significant part of the attacker is past the defender = offside. Not a few cms of toe, head, knee etc.
Sure they said last season that the extremely close ones they would class as onside, yet they seemingly didn't do that.
For me they should just simplify it down and just look at where the feet are. Forget about armpits and knees and whatever else and just go by the feet.
I’d not be against a ‘margin of error’ ruling past which would be offside. But the benefit of doubt given to those stupid his left toe is past the line decisions.
Why not go back to clear daylight = offside and anything less is on? It always made more sense that way anyway.I’d not be against a ‘margin of error’ ruling past which would be offside. But the benefit of doubt given to those stupid his left toe is past the line decisions.
