Those stats are a little suspect to me too, they mark their own homework. I bet in the majority if the ref gave it the other way they would say that's also correct.

FIFA Set To Trial Offside Rule Game Changer | Latest Celtic News
In the context of Celtic and Scottish football, the impacts of this new rule could be profound. For one, it might necessitate a shift in defensive strategies

Looks like it is going to actually be trialed.
It's much, much more difficult for a linesman to determine in real time whether an attacker's back foot has just held onto the defensive line than it is to see if any of the attacking player has peeked in front of the defensive line.FIFA Set To Trial Offside Rule Game Changer | Latest Celtic News

But now in VAR-land, they are letting any close calls run anyway, so you might as well adopt this theoretically beneficial but hard-to-enforce standard.
We're still in a poisonous place that's killing the game.
So there will have to be clear daylight between attacker and defender?FIFA Set To Trial Offside Rule Game Changer | Latest Celtic News

Unless the linesman is absolutely level, it will be impossible for him to see this gap between the two players accurately, if it's a small gap. Even more difficult to judge than the current offside rule, I reckon.
It may benefit VAR, but what percentage of football games are cursed with VAR?
Sorry, but that would be impossibly hard for a linesman to judge in a split second.
There's nothing wrong with current rule, it's just the poor implementation by VAR that's the problem. Other people have suggested thickening the VAR-drawn line, to allow a bit of leeway, until the tech improves sufficiently to be 'hawkeye accurate'.
As for linesmen - we just have to accept that they're human and get it wrong sometimes.
I'm talking about where they put the lines. The Linesmen should just keep doing what there doing. VAR should judge it by the placement of feet not by someones armpit.
I never wanted VAR. I can handle human error it was part of the game
But when someone is actively trying to find ways of being offside is just stupid as is this knew rule which allows an attacker who already has momentum to be potentially a yard ahead of a defender
Annoying the shit out of fans ??So what’s VAR for ?
VAR should only come into play if an obvious mistake is made. It was never intended to measure toes or arms offside.
The torso is the measure . As I understand it the new rule would say that the forward has to be completely past the defender to be offside ?

You're suggesting one rule for the linesman and a different rule for VAR. Not sure I like that.
VAR, if it has to exist (and I think we both agree that we'd be better off without it), should be there to ensure an accurate implementation of the rules of the game - it shouldn't have rules of its own. The football authorities have created a monster - let's not feed it!
No mate I'm suggesting they follow the same rule but if the linesman is in doubt they do as they are and let play continue.
If the attacker is ahead of the defender when ball is played they are offside. If it's too tight to call on the naked eye it goes to VAR and bosh the line says that he's offside because his feet are ahead of the defenders
It will make it more fun though .... more goals etc.
It was always intended to do this, the message was offside is binary and var could resolve any disputes. It's why offsides were never included in clear and obvious error (nor handballs leading to a goal).
The fact its bollox doesn't mean that it wasn't intended
However the interpret it , you know very well that those implementing it will make a pigs ear out of it !
