    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.
