Justs header was definitely offside to the naked eye when it was replayed. The first one was very close, but the linesman gave it, so VAR wasnt a factor.

Offside decisions don't need to be clear and obvious, you're either onside or you aren't. Whether the cameras are good enough is a different question, but the lines are consistent at each ground at least.

As soon as you move away from the factual decisions for offside you would get all sort of stupid interpretations, like with all the other var decisions. It would be better if we just didn't have it at all.

VAR checks every goal scored regardless of what the linesman says. 

I don't have any issue with factual interpretations - my suggestion is the law needs to be changed to revert to the spirit of it.

You could still either be on or off; just use different criteria.

Actually, I'd prefer to ditch VAR, but if we are stuck with it, the laws need to adapt to keep up with the technology.

That said, I don't think checking to see if a player has a toenail offside is in the spirit of the offside law.

Was it not originally 'seeking to gain an advantage' by standing offside, or something?

We’re being sold a sham in Scotland that would never fly in the English top flight, yet we just sit and accept it every week. Budget VAR tech, incompetent officials, and plastic pitches. I’ve had enough.
