Just use clear daylight to give offside, would be checked in seconds.
Ref should check monitor for other incidents and decide so he remains in charge.
I agree the ref on the pitch should still make the final decision.

I heard the interview on five live, but what was worse was that the BBC then read out two texts from people who thought Swarbrick was spot on and spoke the most sense they had heard on the subject.

Macca, Mr Friend claims he blew his whistle before Henry scored. This means play is stopped and VAR is off the hook. However,the quality of decision making by the Var referees has,too often,been appalling. Refs are supporting their colleagues time after time. Ex pros with no ties to the teams involved need to halt this cosy farce.I'm OK with the notion that even if it's just a toe that's offside then it's offside. You have a clear rule, and now you can see if the rule has been broken. But there's too much else unsatisfactory about VAR and indeed the whole of the current system. Like when the prat booked Grealish for diving when Lansbury scored a goal, and VAR could only look at one bit of it.
Hi,Villan 57, not sure a Northerner or Southerner would give a monkey's about let's say Wolves v Villa.I don't think it's easy to find unbiased people to work VAR, and where ex-pros are concerned even harder. Some matches I watch I really couldn't care less who wins but normally I have a favourite of the two or as the match goes on I want the better team on the day to win as they deserve it.

It isnt just the small margins with offside, its the time taken to come to a decision. If its taking between three and four minutes to allow or overturn a goal that can hardly be classed as "clear and obvious"I'm OK with the notion that even if it's just a toe that's offside then it's offside.
