Leave it as it is, it's the same rules for everyone.

Except they're measuring the offsides at two completely different points on a resolution that can't be enhanced or zoomed. If it's not clear with the naked eye then they're very literally guessing. Your point would be valid if they could actually distinguish whether someone's armpit was on or offside. They can't. They'd need a goal line technology system running the entire length of the pitch. So right now they're measuring straight lines at completely different perspectives and then attempting to draw lines to players off said line. Unless it's clear and obvious that an offside has occurred the system does not cater for anything other. It's physically impossible to make decisions with 100% accuracy like the ones they're attempting to do now so as above, they're literally guessing. Every other league in the world knows this, except us.
It's not hawk-eye or goal line technology. It's a replay that has very little give. They're attempting to use replays to make Millimetre decisions. It can't be done.

Off or on. Again, measuring from a perspective that couldn't possibly give you a valid outcome.

Same incident with the resolution they're working with.
Change the rules to do the opposite. Every single decision that needs this level of scrutiny with a system not fit to provide a conclusive answer is a goal. Don't get me wrong though, as per my previous post. They have to keep doing this until the end of the season now for consistency purposes, they can't change it till then.
