But offside is something set in stone. You are either over the line, or you aren't. It's a black and white rule. While the ref is the one who blows the whistle, it's something that can be decided via slow motion review whether the correct call is made or not. If robots and sensors were making those calls, it would be 100% correct. Offsides are something that shouldn't be missed. I'm of the opinion that the coach's challenge is acceptable in this case.

I can tell the way we are talking about this that we'll have to agree to disagree.
I know what you're saying, believe me.
I just feel differently because IMO rules are black/white/grey all the time, these rules are always called differently for EVERY penalty by referee, by time of the year, time of the game, regular season/post season etc. etc.
IMO every rule is an interpretation and a judgment call aka grey.
