The offside that led to the disallowing of Oristanio's goal during the match at the Penzo between Venezia and Cagliari continues to be a topic of discussion.
At the center of the debate, not only among the Veneto and rossoblù fans, but – more generally – among all football fans, is the computerized image that “certified” Oristanio’s offside, which shows him beyond the last defender by just one… stud.
An irregular position according to the current rules, which are based on the footage from the SAOT cameras, or “Semi-automated offside”. But on social media the episode has triggered a real storm of criticism .
“What has football become?”, “We're going crazy”, “It feels like we're in a video game”, “Incredible”, “Absurd” are some of the eloquent posts by users commenting on the image.
But even among insiders the debate on the current offside “certification” system is more heated than ever.
