Offside is offside buddy. You won't change my mind on that.
Same as balls and strikes. Human error shouldn't exist.
I don’t recall trying to change your mind on what offside is. What a weird thing to say.
But offside is offside.
And it’s called by linesmen.
Linesmen are human.
Humans make errors.
I’ll try to draw a parallel: consider instances when the puck crosses the line after the net is lifted off its pegs. The referee can determine that the natural course of play would have resulted in a goal. They call good goal. I remember a day when no matter what, if the net was off, play was dead. No goal. But why did they change that? If the letter of the law at the time was no goal, and that was bunk. They wanted
humans to determine what was reasonable and what wasn’t.
The same reasoning can be used with a close-call offside. Did that sliver of white that needed six minutes and footage only Toronto has access to have a large enough impact on the play to take a goal off the board? Maybe, maybe not.
