Can't be any worse.

Now they're mic'd up why doesn't the linesman just concentrate on the forward's position and an official with an overall view of the game say 'now' when the player passing has kicked the ball?

Once the Semi automated tech is adopted that tech will get refined until it evolves into a full-on automatic system.

I can see an end game where a buzzer sounds over the PA system as soon as a player touches or even runs towards a pass from an offside position.

Why are consistency and common sense polar opposites? You can consistently apply common sense.

They aren’t, but to apply common sense you need to know what the purpose of a law is. The laws fail quite badly here as they try to cover every possible fair/foul detail rather giving an overview of why the law exists. This is most clearly seen in the laws for offside and handball where the purpose of the laws should be to prevent teams gaining an advantage from either having a player in an offside position or making contact with the ball with their hand/arm. In the case of fouls the twin purposes would be protecting the safety of players alongside stopping teams gaining an advantage by foul play.

It’d be the same at best. The assistant’s will listen for the kick of the ball when the player passing isn’t in their vista.

They'd have to react to the word now being said and that time could mean making the wrong call.

I’m very anti the current system but there will be a time when an automated system will work. Until it’s ready, withdraw the current

The champions league semi automated system works just fine yet the premier league didn’t want it last season for some strange reason..

What’s the margin or error for that?

I’ve tried looking for it btw

Not sure,but there’s no bullshit waiting 3-4 minutes it’s a few seconds and that’s it..
probably someone a bit more clued up in this tech can give a better insight..

There isn’t one. Or at least one they admit to. They claim their system can decide if every single incident is either onside or offside, as a matter of fact, no matter how close.

The system they currently use in England has a margin of error, in the attackers favour, believed to be about five centimetres.

The fact that it's SEMI-automated tells a different story to your first paragraph. From what I understand it still requires human input as to WHEN the ball is played, it's only then that the automated system kicks in.

I honestly wouldn't trust the bunch of officials we have in this country to be able to correctly identify the exact point in time when the ball was kicked at kick-off or at a goal-kick, let along during play.
