    Personally I think it’s a crap idea because:

    • adding more complexity to the rule that’s already so hotly contested is a recipe for disaster. As it stands it’s easier to decipher if someone is on/off compared to this new rule.

    • the main issue many have with the current rule and how VAR is used (extremely marginal offsides) will still remain, regardless of where the line is, there will always be situations where people will be narrowly offside. All this does is move the same issue 2 feet up the pitch.

    • it will encourage deep block, defensive, crap to watch football. Such an overwhelming advantage to an attacker (who are generally already quicker than defenders anyway) will lead to teams further reducing any space in behind them and sitting deeper on the field to prevent the chance of a runner behind them.
