Nick Tenney I’m a referee myself and I have also been a linesman (you learn both in the course). Im 16 and have been refereeing for a year and a half. The running down the line isn’t the hard bit. All you do is follow the last defender. The hardest bit is trying to decide within a couple of seconds if the player is offside or not. And to stick with your decision. And also to try and watch the ball and the attacker at the same time

Why Mike Dine hate chelsea

Keep in mind that these are easy conditions for a wide variety of reasons: 1) There is only one striker and one defender and Garry & Carry know that only those two are relevant. In a real game it can get much more complicated with multiple defenders and attackers fighting for positioning - and good luck keeping track of who was passively offside and then becomes actively involved seconds later. 2) Garry & Carry have to only look out for offside and are not distracted by other possible decisions that a linesman has to routinely make. 3) They know the small time window when the pass is coming in. 4) They know at which height the defenders will approximately cross and thus can adjust their positioning beforehand. 5) They don't have to run up and down the entire side line all the time. 6) Their view is completely unobstructed.

Actually this is harder than most of the situations in the real game because normally defenders and strikes are running to a same direction, whereas here the players are running against each other and it’s very hard to say when the defender has passed the striker also considering the ball‘s location/has it already been passed in the exact moment. Also normally defender tries to stay between the striker and the goal and not just pass him. I know this for a fact because I‘m a ref and I’ve tried this myself, still you made very good points:)

For real, this is actualy hard...

At the end when the main referee was explaining his theory to them, he's absolutely right. At best, human reaction time will have a minimum of 0.1/0.2 seconds of delay. In that time, the quickest athletes will have traveled close to 1 or 2 meters further forward. So if he looks 1 or 2 meters offside, he's probably onside due to the delay of reaction time and human error.

Such good insight, loving this series of videos!

This is fantastic!! To see the real life of a ref from ex-players point of view shows just how hard it really is.

I used to be a ref and assistant ref for local youth football, and damn is it hard. Forget the players, I don't care if you're the defender tasked with shutting down Messi, the referee has the hardest job on the pitch.

Shows like this can actually help remind many fans that refs are just human beings who have to learn their trade and can from time to time make mistakes. Plus most of them are just extremely nice relatable lads

they be perfect linesmen😂😂

More of these, please

That little bit of info on the end- discussing how a meter away looks vs is was very helpful tidbit for those of us who do this.

Refs r always there to do their best ...i know that sometimes it doesnt happen...but now with VAR, lets just hope these situations r cut to a minimum !!

I did my referee license here in Germany at age 14 and I was once a linesman at a youth match on a smaller playing field. It was the toughest job I ever did and I'm not joking. Since then I never questioned a decision a ref or a linesmen had to make.

I tried to be a linesman once in a nothing game and that was hard to judge offside. Tough job for sure making those calls.

Anyone else watched it at 0.25 speed for GNevs last one 😬

Very very nice insight.

They made it look more difficult, because the defender moves in the opposite direction. However, most of the times, the decision has to be made when the defenders keep hold of their position until the attacker makes a run that they follow afterwards (so, movement in the same direction), or at set pieces, that again, both teams move in the same direction

Just proves the need for VAR for certain calls.

It looks a genuine hard job. They do deserve more credit lol

This challenge should've included a keeper so the striker can have a shot that way if he scores or misses you can fully understand the pressure of a linesman.

Good to see Peter Bosz training Neville and Carragher and showing them what it's like to be a linesman.. Only thing he's good for..

What people forget is that the ball kicker and the potentially offside player are often not in the assistants field of vision together. Angles can help but you have to be looking across the line so need to use sound to indicate when the ball was kicked. Lining is much harder than PROPER assistant role.

Is that daylight rule still on? Hahahaha love carra

this was really cool to see ..... i wish we could get a live feed of the conversations between the officials during a match.

i think more players/ex pros should try this to do what refs and lineman do so they understand how difficult it is.

These guys are better than VAR

I FEEL TRAINING AND REFRESHER COURSES WE IMPROVE THEM

Could the filming of the replays be any worse! The camera man doesn't seem to realise that you need to see the point at which the ball is played through to judge offside!

Lol I got this recommended in 2020 (end of July)

bit of revenge for the linesman!

That bit about them giving onside if it looks slightly offside is probably because of human reflexes and processing speed. You can only register the ball being kicked, then the player running past with a slight bit of delay. The speed the players are moving at is enough that the distance they appear to move is longer than reality.

my respect for linesmen and referees has increased dramatically, ggs to them

The best duos in football

These two should have a sitcom of their own

I ran the line for a Sunday league team today, good fun but need to have max concentration and block out the crowd, coaches etc

This two should have a tv show

I might get gary neville to manage my games no offside 😂 😂

really the TV channels should show the real time replay from side on as well as slow-mo

0:42 that legendary shot !

Why can't we have a camera replay similar to the one in this video. The camera can follow the linesman and be used to help with looking at offsides

6:15 The fastest players sprint flat out at >30kph. So an average defender closing speed with an average attacker accelerating into a run might be 30kph. 30kph is 8.3 meters per second so the attacker will separate from the defender by a meter in 0.12 seconds. Sound travels 344 meters per second, so in 0.12 seconds the sound of the ball being kicked would travel 41.28 meters, or just about the width of a soccer pitch. These are all rough numbers but what I'm wondering is if these referees are using the sound of the ball kick, because by the time that sound arrives on a marginal decision they could look offside by a small amount, and that would explain the phenomenon of that 1 meter compensation (even for experienced referees) the referee describes here.
