You dont even want to hear the physics guys talk about it …
What’s the margin of error and speed of the camera? (Ie how many frames per second is it capturing?)
When the ball is being kicked, it compresses, so does offsides occur when the ball first begins to compress or when the ball comes off the foot? How much margin of error is there around that starting point?
How much total margin of error does that create? (Its something like 1-2 feet of distance based on the speed of the player I think)
Anyways, its pretty hilarious to hear them explain how there’s quite significant room for error in the process that isnt appropriately being considered on these calls …
