From daylight offside to countdown clocks and VAR expansion, football’s lawmakers are reshaping the rules, but are they improving the game or just moving the arguments?
That’s exactly where I land on it. The frustration hasn’t really been offside itself, it’s the shift from football judgement to forensic measurement.
Daylight might move the line, but it doesn’t change the mindset that every decision has to be “provable” rather than sensible. I’m not convinced any law tweak fixes that unless we also rethink how VAR is used ⚽
