It's so fucking absurd now. They've overcomplicated it to a ridiculous level. Just come to the correct decision, get rid of all this "clear and obvious" shit and put a time limit on the really fine margin subjective shit whereby if you can't tell within 60 seconds something is wrong, the on field decision stands.
We were all sold VAR in the idea it was to stop shit like this being given offside, and now we're using microscopes to draw lines from players armpits to disallow goals while letting players elbow and foul each other because it's "not clear and obvious".
It's so frustrating. We have the same thing with hockey in the NHL now. Offside reviews were brought in because a guy scored a goal despite being like 8 feet offside, and now it's used to determine if a players skate was 2 micrometers offside 30 seconds before the goal was scored.
