Premier League to vote on scrapping VAR

[Ronners]

It's never been used correctly. It should only ever be used as a means to overturn decisions when there's a 'clear and obvious' error. Not marginal offsides, and only ever if you have enough evidence to overturn in a very short window.

Used correctly, great tool. Used how it has been, games ruined.

It's not offsideish, your either offside or you're not however marginal, it's like a goal, the ball is either all over the line or it's not, however marginal that is. UTM

It was never like though as offside could never be completely accurate. Remember when players used to be classed as 'level'? Nobody moaned if a toenail was beyond the last defender. The lines can never be drawn completely accurately, for me if the offside isn't clearly visible to the naked eye and lines have to be drawn then it should just be classed as level and therefore onside.

Before VAR would anyone have complained the Coventry winner in the FA Cup semi was offside?

We'd have talked/argued about it for years... which is what made sport great. People love a bit of controversy. The minute you can make a reasonable case for a decision going either way, that's when VAR should be removed from the equation.

It's absolutely miles away from the ball crossing a goal line - that's a static line, painted, and a set camera position. Offside relies on a moving camera on two focal points, the ability to clearly show when a ball has left the foot of the passer, and super-imposed lines, and that's before you get to the nonsense around elbows or backsides being slightly offside... cricket have got this right by allowing an "umpire's call" for situations they know the tech falls short. Football bodies know about the tech limitations but choose to ignore them.
