I'm not a soccer person and only have a vague sense of what the offside condition is for that sport. It would be helpful to have a reference, even just the text of the rule, for making close call decisions.

  True good idea!

  The offside rule is notoriously hard to describe. It's not even set in stone as there is a subjective element to making the judgement in some situations. There's an entire Wikipedia article about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(association_football) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(association_football)

  You don't need to know the nuances, all you have to decide is whether any bodypart of the receiving player is beyoned the last defender.

It's not hard to figure out but it would be helpful to know which team (by kit color) is attacking. Also is this just a collection of (controversial) calls VAR ruled as offside? Went through about 10-15 and that's all I got.

  Nice idea. And yeah still need to get more added. It's not that easy to find.

Great job! It would be nice to include images without the lines VAR draws, since that give away the decision most times. Maybe then compare the score with and without lines.
- truetaurus 5y ago
  That would be awesome but getting those images are tricky unfortunately.

    Or maybe covering up the graphics on the screen that says "Onside" like the 26 October City v Villa

I was not actually able to try the game. The images all loaded as blank white squares for me on mobile. It also seems to hijack the browser back button every time a picture is clicked.
- truetaurus 5y ago
  Hmm what browser and mobile device do you have?

    Android. Using habit browser.

Love it. It's pretty much always: I thinks onside, VAR says offside.

It'd be interesting to see how one's decisions compare to other people's decisions or other similar opportunities to yell at someone or something that the decision was wrong and everyone involved in making it was blind, in the pay of bettings sites, maliciously biased, etc.

Hey nice one. Couple of ideas: - Add a time limit for decisions? Count down clock perhaps, forces users to make a choice quick and adds an element of pressure? - Illustrations, my go to is always: https://www.manypixels.co/gallery https://www.manypixels.co/gallery you'll see there are lots of football ones under the sports category.

  nice thanks!

Really awesome idea! I'd love some kind of aggregated stats/summary page where you could see the most-disagreed-with decisions, etc.
