This makes sound sense so long as we're not talking fingernails. Imagine being given offside because your boot is one milimetre ahead of the defender's :eek::D. So maybe allow a tolerance of say 5cm (two inches). I wouldn't argue with that. Also the technology needs to be precise about when exactly the ball cleared the boot of the player passing it.

The tolerance is still the same though.

Just make the toes the parts that count and put sensors on them.

Nobody questions goals just over the line any more - take the decision making away and there's nothing to argue about.

I agree, but chest, not toes, you'll get all sorts of weirdness to get your toes in front, harder with the chest.

Absolutely, and of course the line does have to be drawn somewhere. But whereas the goal-line technology is crystal clear and easy to accept, not sure it's quite the same for offsides. Allowing a little more tolerance might be all it takes to gain acceptance.
 
It’s the same process as goal line, define the line, define the item, did they cross.

Best thing is to get it right, if there does have to be tolerance, the only logical solution is to favour the defending team, a mistake shouldn’t lead to a change in score line.

People want goals and attacking football. That's why it should favour the attacking team.

people want proper goals (well the weirdo's' who don't truly understand the game do ;)), not cheap ones that only count because of an officiating mistake

goals are currently cheap in top flight football, the aim should always be quality not quantity

It's not a mistake if it's within the guidelines of the rules.
We're talking about margin of error.
Today there is none, despite the fact that the system in use has a theoretical margin of error of about 60 cm! And yet they make millimetre decisions based on that. Go figure.
 
Well we have had 5 and a half years of this farce ( which was brought in to stop arguments) and guess what its still rubbish. Still never mind there have been a lot of money made from it for some. Its a joke.

to be fair, a lot of the arguments now are with the laws of the game, rather than on things being missed

paraphrasing, "yes he was technically offside, but it wasn't obvious, so why was the goal disallowed?"

Fair share of mistakes still being made though which 5 years in looks terrible for a system sold on the basis of it covering those mistakes off.
