University Project! Offside Technology

[James90]

Hi Guys,

I had a idea for my final year sports product I was think of a way for linemans to have a accurate but fast way to get offsides 100% right. Something like hawkeye etc. If anyone has any ideas of a easyish way to implement this to the modern I would be most grateful for your suggestions

Blimey. You're at university? Used to need an English A level to get there!

if this is your final year project, dont you think that YOU are the one that should be thinking up the ideas?

Put the linesmen on rails and have them power up and down the line with a computer keeping them level with the ball, which will be made of cast iron so it can be tracked by magnets. Players will also have iron boots and if a goal is scored or free kick given, they are repositioned immediately by the magnets.

There you go, a bit more work and you've got a winner. No need to thank me, it's a gift

So you want us to do your project for you? Perhaps you could get each NSC member to do one line of your dissertation as well?

Then you'll Patent it....great wheeze

Three years of university education has got you to a mere notion of something and no f***ing clue on how to make an idea real....

No wonder the country is in recession.

if you are that keen on using other people's ideas for your university project, then there is a great website which can help you!

It should have laser beams lots of laser beams and some sort of robotic arm for raising the flag. I will take 30% of any future revenue when FIFA adopt my groundbreaking concept

Are you suggesting he's a work-shy student? Hmmm previously unheard of

Strikers' job: get into a scoring position and score.
Defenders' job: stop strikers getting into scoring position and scoring.
Role of offside rule: help defenders stop strikers scoring.
Defender tactics: move forward to put striker offside, gaining free kick. In other situations this type of action might be construed
as ungentlemanly conduct, with the defender penalised not the striker!
Teams/crowd impact: probably the most contraversial/provocative aspect of many games.
Studies suggest: it is impossible for officials to give an accurate offside verdict much of the time.
Best solution: scrap/limit the offside rule, much as hockey successfully did over 20 years ago!!

Looking forward to seeing your report/conclusions/recommendations.
