The fact that being in front of someone by a literal inch means you're offside is bs tho. There is no significant advantage gained by having your foot 2 inches further than the defender or if your head is further than the defender when the ball is being passed. This isn't a racing sport.
Changing the point of measurement won’t change anything, if the rules change to where a attacker needs to be fully past the defender there will still be 2 inch offside calls that people will complain about.
Regardless, by the current rules this is an objectively correct decision.
But i mean its not that complicated you just gotta be fully behind that defender. Sure you could change the offside rule and make so that only even a little of the attacker's body has to be onside or so that its based on shoulder location and not entire body, but there still will be controversy and people arguing that it should've or shouldn't have been offside.
Why does that matter? Would it make a difference if it was shown after 1 min? 3 min? 5 min? At what point does it matter?
Are you saying they are manipulating the VAR video? If so, that's the most absurd, unreasonable and ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You clearly don't know how this technology works if you think that's even a possibility. If refs are doing this, then why even have refs? Why even play the sport? Why does this sport even exist? Even if you don't understand the tech, at some point you have to just trust that they are acting in good faith, otherwise it's not worth even watching the game anymore.

I am not saying it is happening, but the longer it takes to show the images, the higher the possibility of manipulation.

Do you know how it works? The initial touch and the position of the players are automated, as well as the 3D render wirh the lines. The "semi" part of "Semi Automated Offside Technology" is the confirmation of that initial touch and other variables, like interference in the game, ball dispute, etc. VAR refs can determine that the initial touch is incorrect and have the system select a different one (earlier or posterior), then the system generates a new render. If there are no alterations, the render is available within seconds, and the VOR should send it to the broadcaster.
If someone in the VOR was changing the initial touch multiple times until they got the "right" render, then it would take longer for the image to be available for the live broadcast. Then, seeing a difference of several minutes between a close call and a normal call can raise suspicion.

The best way to avoid this and suspicions is to have transparency, release the logs that would show these multiple attempts, and release the audios.
Eloquent reply. But come on man. There no way you believe that this type of manipulation is actually happening. "selecting the appropriate last touch that I want so that I can get the render I want to see". Honestly, if you believe this is standard practice, I can't really reason with you. Sure, that's a possibility. Is it probable? No. That would be the end of the refs association for allowing that. Just because something is possible, doesn't mean it's probable. Have some common sense and stop believing in conspiracy theories. They're bought, they're corrupt, everyone is against my team and they'll stop it nothing to make sure this call goes a certain way. I can't man, just ridiculous. Can't be reasoned with.
