This and also the fact that the striker being tight on the defender is a crucial part of the game. If we're talking these ridiculously small margins then the way a striker plays will be fundamentally changed. There is no way a player can be conscious of being 1cm offside so will have to try and be 50cm onside.
I don’t think strikers will do anything different. It just means more marginal decisions will be ruled out and sadly the benefit of the doubt to the attacking team has disappeared.
Surely they can implement a tolerance level into the technology to ensure such fine margins maintain that benefit?
