just want to point out that this move started with saliba trying to play a long ball over the top. even though his attempt failed, the long ball caused chaos, and we ended up scoring from it. i’d love to see more of that for this exact reason.
there’s no unfair advantage for the attacking team whenever some random defender’s shoelace keeps you offside on a play where you need slow mo instant replay and a computer system to actually determine whether or not you’re onside. this will get rid of those asinine instances and will make being offside by a half an inch 100x easier to stomach. it’s a way better idea than what we’ve currently got.
it’ll make it to where goals are no longer disallowed after the fact because a defender’s big toenail was a quarter inch offside, which i think everyone would enjoy.
