Doesn’t that offside change effectively kick the can down the road? Next we’ll be measuring a back foot against a knee capBeing trialled in World Cup.

It's worse than that, playing a high line becomes impossible because attackers essentially get a yard advantage on the defender compared to nowThe offside thing seems ridiculous as any marginal decision will still remain contentious, its just simply moving the lines.
Should be the body mass/torso. Don’t see why that’s so difficult. If any part of the bodies are overlapping then it’s onside. If there’s a gap then offside. Easier to measure with this semi-automated as well.
That’s true but then I think there’d be less arguments about it being as picky as someone’s foot being bigger (wright/wan-bissaka). The perceived advantage to the attacker if his body is clearly ahead of the defender would be easier to swallow.Surely it’s all the same problem of drawing a line and determining if a player is past it?
I don't think Wengers alteration was supposed to be less contentious or easier for the officials? Wasn't it about promoting attacking play and making the games more exciting/more goalsSurely it’s all the same problem of drawing a line and determining if a player is past it?
I think some of the argument is that this will actually hinder that, as teams will just sit tighter defensively. So instead you'll just get a load of Pep-style passing from side to side trying to break through a low block, or get the ball being hoofed from one end of the pitch to the other and midfield becomes pretty much irrelevant.I don't think Wengers alteration was supposed to be less contentious or easier for the officials?

Yes, why not set a time limit on VAR of (say) 10 seconds. If they can't call a player offside in that time it's clearly not obvious, so advantage to the attacking team.The offside one should be easy. If it looks straight away that it's offside then it is. If there's no clear infringement and you have to look in more detail then it isn't. All decisions made within 5 seconds so then VAR wouldn't be noticed in the stands like it is now.

Bloody common sense isn't it.Yes, why not set a time limit on VAR of (say) 10 seconds. If they can't call a player offside in that time it's clearly not obvious, so advantage to the attacking team.
I like it but some injuries don’t look like it’s something serious has happened. I say this as Having stubbed my toe at the start of the week to be met with calls of pussy from both the wife and the son.If the goalie goes down without a clear and obvious injury a corner is given to the opposition
Would be music to the ears of the people who love to suggest there are refereeing conspiracies against their team (every single club has them)Yes, why not set a time limit on VAR of (say) 10 seconds.

I agree, I think this would be a good move. It should be easier to ‘mind the gap’, puts the attacking side first, and I would more happily accept an offside decision on this basis, rather than Haji’s big toe, which I don’t think I will ever get over….That’s true but then I think there’d be less arguments about it being as picky as someone’s foot being bigger (wright/wan-bissaka). The perceived advantage to the attacker if his body is clearly ahead of the defender would be easier to swallow.
Seems like it’s a done dealNot sure if this has been mentioned, but there is talk about extending the play-off teams to 6 below the top two. Hopefully, this won't affect us yet, but if the worst happens, and we're relegated from the Prem fairly quickly, what are people's thoughts? Would it help the cause or is it simply too much?
This is a brilliant reference. We watched it again last week-the wife has a habit of quoting the "do you?" line frequently in the same voice as the Itchy and Scratchy lady...When Coventry City aren’t playing all the other teams should be asking “Where’s Coventry City?”
