Should be done by your feet imo.
His foot was offside.

Then it’s a fair decision. I don’t like all the hands and arms being offside crap.

What will that achieve? Still be down to mm and lines
There is no hands and arms being offside, as those aren't legal for playing the ball

interesting idea. A little buzzer should go off when it's pulled and tugged as well. hands off defenders!
.. and the camera lens distortion is corrected.It's easy to understand why Wolves are fed up with VAR, they're the only side in the League to have had every VAR decision to go against them.
edit: and another terrible decision by Anthony Taylor being overruled. The best thing about VAR is it will prove once and for all what a terrible ref he is.

cannot wait for the "heated debate" title in a future youtube video with a red face Souness as the thumbnail
The problem with VAR in football is there are too many variables and rules for it to work with any simplicity.
In tennis the ball's either in or out. That's it.
In cricket it's a little slower but there are 3 phases to check for. Still pretty easy.

I agree that it’s black and white, but the technology doesn’t match the rule. There’s no way they’re drawing that line in the same place for every attacker, trying to figure out where someone’s armpit starts shouldn’t be the difference between offside and onside. At least doing it by feet (which would still rule that wolves goal out) is a much clearer and obvious marker.
That doesn’t even account for issues such as the frame rate of the camera determining when the ball is struck. How does the premier league not have high FPS cameras to get this sorted.
Stops and starts all the time anyway so it’s no bother. You can also hear the ref so they can’t be sneaky ********.

This whole meme about AFTV is just so crusty and boring. The worst thing about the channel these days is the baiting in the comments from non-Arsenal fans trying to stir things up. Watching each post-match interview upload and... it's all perfectly reasonable, like it is the vast majority of the time.
