I don’t mind the use of VAR on offside, where it’s factual
It’s not useless, it’s the people who are observing it that are useless and the new rules to accommodate it.Again how can they look at that and judge it to be a deliberate elbow. It should not even have been advised for Dean to view it. Ridiculous every week.
It's based on bullshit, that's the problem. At 50 frames per second, they're trying to say that the ball is hit by the boot for 0.02 seconds, which is nonsense.If it's going to stay, you can't just have that one frame as the point of contact, and then start drawing lines that seem to defy the actual plane of perspective to fit the narrative. The way to bring in some sort of 'linesman's call' is to spread the judgement over a few frames of footage. If the striker is onside in any of them, he's on.

Ridiculous every week.But that is your opinion, and mine as a matter of fact, but it wasn't the opinion of the officials and that's where VAR is doomed to failure, these decisions are subjective. However it's adjusted, nudged, changed, fiddled with, there is no getting over that.VAR should only be used for matters of fact, everything else should be left to the on field officials. It will never, ever work otherwise.
