Daylight offside (8 Viewers)

Haven't they tried this before, years ago (or was it just mooted)?

Tbh, the issue isn't the law, which is fine, it's how VAR is utilised to enforce it, with the vastly overly pedantic enforcement currently in practice. As the OP says, this won't solve that, just put the lines in a different place.

If VAR must be used, my solution would be, is it obvious? I.e., can you tell with the naked eye on a freeze if the officials have called it wrong? If not, officials' decision stands. No need for lines or changes to the law, just better application of technology required.

VAR should be a tool for referees to use when they deem something to be unclear. How VAR has been implemented across the sport is that it’s a shitty Big Brother.

If something is out of the eye-line of the ref, such as violent conduct, then it’s a good idea for VAR to point it out.

Referees are no longer fully accountable and that’s wrong imo.

Always said give the idiots 30 seconds to debate and then award a goal if they cannot decide

Wright and Mason Clark must have thought the new rules were bought in this season.

Won't affect Simms he is still day dreaming when the ball goes in
