    Looks like by season 3 it's being used as it was intended in the Italian, German and Spanish league.
    Love the fact the French bloke wants to make up his own rules. (In a strong french accent) how can the player be offside if he's only 1 cm Infront. Hahaha

    The referre’s job is made much harder by players diving/cheating.

    Premier league could give the responsibility back to the players. Stop cheating and VAR can go.

    Two birds one stone.

    Exactly

    Use after match video to stamp down hard on the divers and cheaters

    Actually, funny you should mention it, but

    No

    We’ve all done it though, used a tool for a purpose it wasn’t designed for

    Take offside and VAR, daft discussions about a player being offside because he has an eyebrow/knee/knob one inch further forward. Why complicate it, draw the imaginary line using front foot only. That’s the name of the game after all.

    So I guess grist from your reply your happy with VAR being used to implement the off side rule, just not the rules itself?

    Yes if implemented correctly, but overall I’m still hoping it’s dropped completely

    Had an even bigger effect than I thought it would, has definitely changed something fundamental about the game, and not for the better.

    Football is a simple game, that's why it's so popular, but now they've made it too complicated.
