On or offside? You make the call. Watch the 25 clips (results at the end) and then let us know in the comments how you got on. This was recorded and originally published in 2015 so you may have seen it before.
I got 21/25, but I gotta say I didn't feel confident on nearly every single one. The thought process of giving the tie to the attacker helped me make the right call more often than not.
18/25. Though I have to say I felt a bit handicapped without audio. In game I use the sound of the kick/pass so I can more intently focus visually on the line. Also on at least one of the examples with two attackers it appeared as if the player in the OSP peeled off so I marked at no offense but with a player in OSP, after going through the answers I realized they were only looking for the Offside position.
The advice I received from a National AR was to train your eyes to each focus independently. Right eye on offside, left eye on play. Makes it especially difficult since the video is backward (we're the camera checking the AR, not the AR making the decision).
I was 23 out of 25 noting the onside offside double of 19 and 21 could be held depending on who played the ball but surprisngy I missed and 4 & 6 misjudged the last touch sequence slightly. The fact there was no sound and we are not looking as AR but as a camera check on a much smaller scale it would help to blow up picture in wide screen. those skinny leg drags withit the inline leaning body are difficukt to capture. Very few were completely obvious many close calls hence the hardest job on the pitch to get correct!
This might have been more helpful if play was going in the opposite direction which would be consistent with the typical view for an assistant referee.
Fun exercise - but so many examples are unlike actual play in games. Other than offside traps (which can be a dangerous gamble), trailing defensive players tend to hold back and react once the kick is made... not run up, like silly beggars.

So often I missed the defender's foot keeping the attacker onside!

This should be updated with the new interpretations. It would be a very good training aid
22/25 it was a good test even though is 3 years old
20/25 but on all these calls I would keep the flag down because I would not feel confident in my call.
Just pointing out clip 24 was offsides, they used the wrong clip for the answer.
they used the wrong clip but its still onside.
How many correct answers professional AR needs?
It’s good test ❤
This is very useful thanks!

23/25 very happy with that
Hardest call in sports.
Got 22 right, not bad
