VAR 20:29 - Mar 5 with 862 views | Hooparoo | Watching PSG v Liverpool and PSG just had a perfectly good goal chalked off because his heel was offside. Getting fcking ridiculous and ruins the joy of football. Makes me glad we’re not in the Prem. Rant over |  |

VAR on 21:54 - Mar 5 with 723 views | ManinBlack | Yes a pathetic decision as if a heel gives an unfair advantage. Then a Liverpool defender could have been sent off but VAR ruled no foul. To cap it all against the run of play Liverpool nick it at the end. First Queen's Park last night went two up in the second half and still contrived to lose, and now this robbery by the Scousers. Damn it all... |  | |  |
VAR on 08:43 - Mar 6 with 259 views | sprocket | Technically offside but as we know no real advantage and in the spirit of the game should have been allowed. What struck me was it took approx 30 seconds for decision to be made which puts EPL VAR implementation to shame. |  | |  |
VAR on 08:48 - Mar 6 with 241 views | TheChef | Yes a clear and obvious error! |  |

I think the offside one is a difficult one to draw the line on (no pun intended) and frequently argue with Clive about this. For me offside is binary - you're offside or you're not. If you start introducing caveats like the attacking player has to have an advantage from being offside, it will be more subjective chaos. I hate VAR, want rid of it in all football, including for offsides for the way it kills the emotion of the game, but we can't start differentiating between what's in the spirit of the game and what's not. It's not cricket. |  | |  |

Lines shouldn't be anywhere near it. If you can't tell if it's offside or not without a line then just take the on field decision. Even better, don't even bother with slow-mo. If VAR thinks, "Mmm, I'm not sure" then just stick with the lino. It wouldn't definitely speed things up. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Yeah why they can't add the on-field decision element like in cricket, I don't know. It might make VAR slightly more sensible/acceptable (but I'd still want it binned). |  |
