I mean they could always go back to the old rule where even being even is offside.
That will not at all fix the obsession with frame by frame advance but if ur a fan of offside calls boy would u be thrilled

The line drawing is nonsense. If we must have var then they should show the var people a freeze frame of the moment the pass is made and the attacker and last defender, if they can't tell from that picture if the player is offside or not then the goal stands. Mostly they won't be able to tell and we'll be back to the pre var days of level is onside advantage to the attacker

What they should do is just play the entire match, no VAR at all, then after the match they VAR the whole thing and tell you what the official final score is

People always say "you will have a problem with this until it's your team benefitting from it" and it's like "well sure if we're gonna be fucked by it it's only fair we have some go out way too" but that doesn't mean I enjoy it.
Getting bailed out by VAR for something like that always cheapens victories for me as a fan and ruins the viewing experience even more as a neutral spectator.
I don't mind VAR for PKs and red card offenses but even then they shouldn't be allowed to frame by frame

Do they do this at non-sports jobs?
"You are appealing being fired for smoking on company grounds. We reviewed the security footage with an independent auditor and on frame by frame advance you can see your left foot was inside company grounds.
Your termination is upheld

it's still mad shit that Dixie Dean managed to score 60 goals in 39 games in the offside rule era.

the thing is
weve seen absolutely bullshit calls under var since the start, from deciding not to review to deciding not to call the ref over to the ref deciding not to change decision
weve seen clearly offside players and lines that are almost comicallydrawn to get the goal to stand, handballs that were never handballs before and blatant handballs not called
not to turn it partisan but the same clubs get calls from cunt refs and the only thing var has changed is that its more of a disgrace
junk it altogether at this stage

yes so many wrong decisions but the main problem for me is that they started from the assumption that the more 'correct' decisions you get per match no matter what that does to the flow of the game the 'better' it is for the sport. var has made watching football worse imo.to go back to the original post about scrapping offside my answer would be no because one of the most thrilling things in football is the perfectly timed run/pass to beat offside and leave a one-on-one with the goalie and if you don't enjoy that then maybe football isn't the sport for you.
