He gains no realistic competitive advantage from the tip of his big toe being millimetres beyond a defender's knee in a freeze-frame, and the net result of pretending otherwise is fewer goals overall, which is self-defeating for the sport as a whole.
I understand your point. But at least with offside you can set rules and use technology to make an absolute decision, as per goal line technology.
I’d prefer it was not there but at least when you agree the definition of what offside is then the tech can make a very clean decision.
What I hate is that we capture so much visual data from all angles of the pitch and so can see cheating in all its despicable detail, yet we still can agree to retrospectively deal with this vermin.
