One line placed at the legal ball-playing part of the defender closest to goal...

...but make it a foot wide, as the indication is that there's up to c.30cm of error in the VAR cameras.

If any ball-playing part of the attacking player is beyond that line you're offside - you'll still get pixel-tight calls, but there's a margin of error built in to the analysis/review.

Would lead to quicker reviews, and less 'come on now, that's ludicrous!' reactions.

      - It was wrong. Worrying though that the premier league are backing the current form of use (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 09:12:34
        
        It wasn’t wrong - the technology didn’t malfunction (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:18:22
        
        it was wrong (NCFC) - grays, Jan 8, 09:22:21
        
        But he wasn’t judged level by the technology (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:28:10
        
        The inherent error in the measurement was far greater than the (NCFC) - dennis moore, Jan 8, 16:21:48
        
        my point is (NCFC) - grays, Jan 8, 09:32:56
        
        Maybe nothing tight enough yet (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:39:53
        
        If the Pukki one wasn;t (even thoiugh it was actually wrong) then there will never be. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 09:51:51
        
        Nonsense (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:56:55
        
        It was wrong. He was not offside. No way. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 09:20:59
        
        Right so no part of his body was offside? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:26:47
        
        I don;t believe the technolgy was accurate enough to prove it was offside, I don't (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 09:29:22
        
        The first point is fair regarding proof (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:43:18
        
        As discussed before when you have a margin of error as they do you cannot be (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 09:47:22
        
        do we end up with two offside rules then? (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 8, 09:52:17
        
        God knows. I can see that being equally confusing. My preference would be to (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 09:57:58
        
        how can you go back to a rule that never existed? (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 8, 10:13:41
        
        Didn't realise that was another bit of "guidance" our refs made up! Its talked about so (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 10:28:39
        
        VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 10:16:51
        
        Maybe his aura was offside (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Jan 8, 09:28:44
        
        what if he had a lob on? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 8, 09:36:23
        
        It'd only take a semi tbf. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 8, 09:37:56
        
        clearly wrong. But SCC is this boards biggest fan of VAR. (NCFC) - shoddy, Jan 8, 09:15:29
        
        I’m not a fan of VAR’s use in forensic offsides (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:22:57
        
        I would say that the frame rate and speed of play make it too difficult to judge... (NCFC) - APB, Jan 8, 09:51:13

        That sounds a very good suggestion (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 10:29:21
        
        A dead heat would be onside though (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:55:53
        
        Yes. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 8, 09:59:52

        Well I don’t see why corruption should be involved (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:31:53
        
        I was thinking more of lobbying rather than corruption. I.e. how this got suddenly rolled (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 8, 09:51:17

        Agreed but still not clear and obvious error (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 09:48:12
        
        If the technology is accurate enough then it is clear (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 8, 10:40:14
        
        Yes can see a time when these offsides are just as instant (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 8, 10:46:08
