I don’t have a problem with this. Offside = offside. Doesn’t matter if it’s with your whole body or with just a fraction of the feet. You (literally) gotta draw the line somewhere.

That said I would get rid of the offside rule altogether. They got rid of it in field hockey years ago, and the game (also because of a handful of other great changes) became better. Football is so ready for some radical new rules.

Shorter games with a playclock that stops when ball isn’t in play
Introduction if the selfpass after a free ball
Unlimetd substitution (you don’t stop the game for a substitution),
a penalty bench. If a player receives a yellow card he immediately sits 8 minutes on the penalty bench. Team can’t replace him duringthat period (a red card is still a red card.
Two timeouts per game per team. You can only call for a timeout if your team has the ball on the opponent’s half.
Smaller teams. Max 6 substitutes on the bench. So Mn City or PSG can’t bring unlimited starsplayers

Offside used to not be a thing but it made football pretty shit because people would just wait near the goal to scoop something up. Football doesn't need radical new rules. It's the most popular sport for a reason. However, the sport does need AI/VAR implemented better

I grew up in a time when a goalkeeper could just pick up the ball, anytime. It was horrible! It was a radical change to the game when they changed that rule. If people like you were in charge that would still be a thing. So yes, sometimes things need change. The game has evolved enormously, players have evolved and also fans have evolved (shorter attention span). Why so afraid of change?
