I agree, but it's in a state now that it is becoming too damaging to the game. Remove it and correct it. If that's by creating new tech to help, or removing/re-educating the idiots that control it, whichever works. Many times it's been suggested that just because VAR have said the ref should review their decision, doesn't mean the ref should change their decision - In fact people were saying that there was too much pressure for the ref to accept the decision of the VAR team. Which is it - Go blindly with VAR or allow the Ref some level of control? To me, it's straightforward. You have one man on the field seeing each event once versus several people who are able to review a situation numerous times from various angles. Obviously, the quality of decisions will depend to a degree on the quality of VAR officials, but inevitably, some decisions are highly subjective whereas others are clear cut. If you are taking five minutes to make a penalty decision, then it shouldn't be a penalty. If you are offside by a distance that a human cannot discern, then you aren't offside. The whole offside rule thing is just plain silly from the get go.

Erm we’re not exactly in the same league as them financially. It might have escaped your notice but they’re a slightly bigger club than us in every way. I think their ambitions might be a little higher than us. Former league winners, European champions with a ground capacity of 43,000 and all that Edited by monkey (17 Sep 2023 5.31pm)
The people that run the club Mr Parish. Correct history wise they are bigger based on successes (This was a long time ago) Ambition is what you choose it to be. Look at financial wise Palace has the cheek to charge more for season tickets 8th in the league and shirt sponsor Palace are almost bottom. Palace received merit payment and tv money on par with Villa. (Villa do not spend almost all of it on player wages) Commercial wise Palace are at a stand still and operate like amateurs this is the area they need to bring in better people (Not even having world wide distribution for shirts is unacceptable)

This can be as little as 5cm to as much as 50cm past the defending line (some analysis required!). There should be an on-field decision (made after the fact, like it is now so not to stop 'offside when-it-wasn't' calls). So when VAR is checked and the attacker is within the 'area-of-doubt', the On field decision is taken.

All good points. personally I would prefer if the offside rule was specific to a certain part of the body in Athletics a photo finish is decided by the trunk. Wilf had a goal disallowed because his arm was offside although the rest of his body wasn't. The attacking players should be given the benefit of the doubt.

I wonder if the majority of fans would like to do away with VAR. No VAR and the Diarby goal would have stood, offside not seen by the linesman. Decisions go both ways.

I hadn't realised how boring football actually is until an extra 15 minutes plus has been added on. The first half is so long ago I have forgotten what happened. Do they do bed and breakfast I need a rest and a shower to face the world again. By which time I will have found out the VAR decision was completely wrong so the match wasn't decided on the pitch anyway, so why did I bother attending in the first place.

EXCEPT when Benteke was clean through against Liverpool a couple of seasons back, when the flag went up quicker than a Jack-in-the-Box with the catch released and the referee instantly blew up (sadly not literally so). Of course, the TV pictures showed that (albeit miraculously so) Benteke had been easily onside. We all know he wouldn't have scored, but then we'll never know.
