well if you're off you're off. We've been on the wrongside of a couple of these

Wolves seem to get shafted by VAR (I guess it’s the rules rather than var) every time I watch them.
Ditch it for offsides until the rules have been changed.

I don't understand the use of the lines myself because you're talking such fine margin of error. To judge at that level you have to be 100% confident in the technology. For example, how are they sure the picture angle isn't making things look on/offside due to perspective?
Look how long it took them to give our goal, which was clearly not a handball. Either scrap VAR or use it and give correct decisions, there's no in between.

Because they are calibrated.

The camera isn't shooting at a high enough frame rate to guarantee they're getting the exact moment of pass either. They're making totally marginal decisions on like 5mm of body being offside with a best guess screenshot of when the pass occurred.

Offside is the one thing it gets right and you want to get rid of it? A little offside is offside, it's black and white. why people want a gray "he was only a little offside lets allow it" i dont know.
I said yesterday If it's not clear and obvious by the naked eye they should just trust in the linesman, drawing lines shouldn't be allowed ruling that goal out takes the urine he gained no advantage by his little toe being offside. The player was 99.9% on side but because a tiny portion of his body wasn't they call him entirely offside, he gained no advantage some common sense please.
Because Hawk Eye calibrate all the cameras used every game, it's actually very clever tech, it's not as if someone's just bodging lines on it in photoshop and having a guess.
As was posted yesterday, it's the offside rule that needs fixing, not the VAR tech.
Even as a Liverpool fan, I agree. I think ruling that goal out is a bit ridiculous. The offside rule is to prevent players getting a clear positional advantage, I dont see that having literally a couple of centimetres in it is a clear positional advantage.
