It took over three minutes to find a potential offside and I still did not see a conclusive angle. I question the decision personally.

I think Poch allowed his talent to shine but no I wouldn't say he improved him per se.

No he doesn’t need too as it’s another phase of play of it the defender touches it
Daft rule I agree

Need to have a look at the rules. It seems the purpose of the offside rule which was to prevent gaining an advantage by goal hanging has become a mechanism for finding a reason to disallow a goal.
The defensive art of playing offside was about stepping up, in a line. It was never about leaning forward. Make the toe of the furthest forward planted for the line, make the distance 6 inches so if it is offside it's clearly off and advantage has been gained.
I know we'd concede a last minute equaliser in a cup final and lose on pens once it's been applied but the benefit of the doubt should go to the attacker. For most people, the euphoria of a goal is the reason we spend so much time and energy watching / playing and a lot of the goals we were seeing disallowed would not have been the decisions that would even be challenged by the conceding team. Last night I think they were asking for handball not offside.
We still have a challenge defining what a foul and intentional hand ball is but when it comes to drawing lines lets make it a positive rule rather than a negative one.

It doesn't matter if he was in an offside position before it touched the defender, it only matters if he was when Emerson headed the ball i.e. was he ahead of the ball or behind it when it was headed. I've yet to see a picture that shows this conclusively one way or the other.
Proves nothing, the line is drawn by some bloke at a computer, it looks far from straight, can't see if the ball has left Emersons head already, loads of doubt around it.
If VAR can't make the decision in 3-4 mins then it's obviously falling into a grey area.

That line doesn't take into account perspective or height. What a joke. The only thing you can conclude without any doubt, is that it is too close to call either way with this technology.

Unless the camera is directly behind the ball its a guess.

Should also not be allowed to show the ref replays in slow mo
Show them replays in real time but multiple angles

I did. And felt a re-statement of this potential influencer on our squad could be a useful part of our discussion of what’s going on.

Exactly. It seems as if the camera is ahead of the ball so we can’t CLEARLY know the relationship between Kane and the ball. The answer is better tech. Grounds need camera arrays that cover every inch of the ground (like in The Matrix). Then you can be sure. Until then, it’s always up for grabs.
And as many have said, the offside rule, especially now, needs looking at.

The ‘they have it in for us’ narrative will feed off this:

A rule is a rule and we will have to see if our squad finds extra Moro action from this.

Can make an accurate extrpolation by referencing how the lines that are supposed to be parallel to each other are going to meet each other in a point in the distance.

In what way (proper question, not snarky)?

His intensity on the sideline and constant coaching can increase pressure on the players
