But prior to VAR offsides were decided on the position of a players feet rather than his shoulder. What was his "tone"?

Looking at the highlights thought Vincente did well between the sticks, particularly at the end. In previous seasons we would probably of lost 2-1 after conceding the lead and panicking at the back.

While the Offside Rule remains as it is, we will continue to see these ridiculous ' armpit ' decisions. Combine that with the way in which VAR is being employed and we have the mess that we are witnessing every weekend. I thought that VAR was only going to be used to analyse events where there was some uncertainty - not look for reasons to disallow goals. VAR overturned Anthony Taylor twice in the Spurs v Chelsea game when he got it hopelessly wrong ( shock, horror ) with the Spurs 'keeper incident and Son's petulance and that was good use of the technology although I still don't know how Taylor could get it so wrong in the first place. If VAR is here to stay then the authorities need to either change the offside rule or review how VAR is to be used.

If VAR is here to stay then the authorities need to either change the offside rule or review how VAR is to be used. Statistics revealed that the Assistants were getting offside decisions right 98% of the time so in effect there were hardly any mistakes made. With the introduction of VAR we now have "Armpit gate" and other controversies, week on week to the extent that supporters are enraged and totally fedup with the incessant debate that surrounds this issue, not forgetting of course the injustices they see in such hairline decisions.Games are stopped, VAR checks are not concluded with sufficient alacrity and this is having a negative affect on the entertainment factor of football and the PL. There is an argument that with the very high percentage of correct offside calls which used to be made pre-VAR, the technology should be used solely to determine penalties,simulation and red cards and whilst of course there will still be controversy and debate, there will not be this furore we have at the present time. There is also the argument that as in cricket, where an umpire's decision not to award LBW stands if Hawkeye adjudges that a ball would only have just touched the stumps, a degree of elasticity could be introduced in terms of VAR and offsides. As things stand, VAR is having a negative affect on players and supporters so changes are necessary.VAR is mired in controversy and confusion. Edited by Willo (30 Dec 2019 10.38am)
