Forget drawing the correct line or drawing one at all. I think the bumbling idiots at the PGMOL dictatorship are not competent enough to determine the correct instance the ball leaves the foot. And by that, I mean the last frame that shows the touch for the pass. I don’t think they’re doing that correctly either.

Think about this, if the review video is 60 fps (likely is 24 fps retrograde potato tech knowing the lot of them), if they use the instance that is 4 frames removed from the last instance of the touch of the ball, they are basically giving the attacker 4/60 = 1/15th of a second.

When you’re running fast, this type of margin can easily play you onside or offside. The margins are hairline thin. How easy it is for someone to make sure to use the exact frame that shows them onside regardless of if the ball is released at that very instant or later if they’re corrupt. Just think about it.

    Pay them more so they don’t have to whore around and go to other leagues for real money.

    Why would a raise stop them from officiating outside games? Do you think those couple refs that officiated in UAE took the job because they fell on hard times?

      It would mean that the top refereeing talent from other countries would come to the Prem. Money is the only reason why the best players are here.

        It’s also the exact reason a higher wage would not stop PL refs from officiating elsewhere on the side.

          I disagree. How many players have their well-paid Premier league contract and play for another club “on the side” at the same time?
