Perfectionists versus the rest, seems to be how it boils down.

 

As CB says, the joy of football is in the ebb and flow.  Take that away and it loses a major part of its appeal.  Rugby and American football are both crap to watch and a main reason for that is their stop/start nature.

 

A lot of things about modern football annoy me but if they bring in VAR up here, I think it might be the final straw.

Have not been at a game with VAR but would obviously feel deflated if I celebrated a GOOD GOAL only for it to be disallowed because of a toenail being off-side.

As other posts say make it something more than millimeters.

How is it a "good goal" if it's offside? It's offside.

Splitting hairs here but maybe a split end could be off-side as well.

 

If it takes a television still of a slide rule decision then we may as well do away with on field referees etc. and let technology rule things.

Last nights game a penalty was retaken because the goalie was judged to be half an inch off his line , but the real scary thing I think is imagine it in the Scottish game a midweek match at Ibrox and wullie Collum in the box you might no get home to two in the morning ?

Watching the Manc derby just now and the new offside thing, where the linesman don't raise their flag until several passes after someone is offside - what the fuck is that all about.

 

The players know it's offside, so go all half-hearted.  The linesman knows.  The armchair fans know.  The fans in the stadium would likely suspect it's offside.  Where's the benefit!?

It's if something significant happens (e.g. a goal) and then it transpires that the move was onside, then there's no disadvantage.

 

What happened to playing to the whistle? :ninja:  

 

I agree some situations are absurd.

 

It should be like 'playing advantage': if they're unsure, let it play on and check; if they're sure, put up the flag.
