VAR won’t be, offsides will be, after the autumn international break |  |

Can't wait for VAR next season..... on 20:56 - May 13 with 859 views | Europablue | The way I understood it is that you don't get to celebrate it at all. It will be how I felt when Burns scored against Huddersfield, where I wasn't excited for the goal as much as I was relieved that we wouldn't lose what was already in the bag. It doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with VAR, just the implementation in the Premier League. Everyone should agree that offside is not a science. If you can't see an offside from a couple of angles, it's not offside. |  | |  |

Personally I’ll let the match officials determine whether a player is offside or not. If it means that a goal is scored by a player 5cm offside then so be it. I’ll keep it for clear-and-obvious errors (not offside as I think PL assistant refs should be trusted to do that). Obviously clear and obvious needs to be clarified to such an extent that that definition is watertight- not sure whether that’s possible. But, it needs all the clubs to understand the rules and not to whine if a goal is scored against them by a player 5cm offside. Or VAR doesn’t interfere with a decision not clear and obvious. |  | |  |
