VAR again. What has become of our wonderful game

Absolutely and players timing their run against defenders springing the offside trap used to be a risk taking experience for defenders that brought excitement to the attacking game. Now it's judged by spilt hairs and armpits on a computer screen It's not working for attacking/exciting football and is significantly changing the way in which the game will be played in the future. It's not enhancing the game it's changing it to a point where spectators will end up going off for a bovril whilst 5 blokes in a caravan sit there for 15 minutes with a set of computerised slide rules turning the game into a farce which is why it's a crock of shite.
Human error and chance is what makes the game what it is.

It hasn’t been used to stop ‘goal hanging’ for ninety odd fucking years. And when that version was changed it led to such confusion that the only player who got it - Dixie Dean - scores the absurd total of sixty goals in a season.
anyone whining about ultra marginal decisions just doesn’t understand how measurement works.

The fundamental reason offside exists is indeed to stop something akin to goalhanging, although I clearly used the word somewhat facetiously. I don't know what you're suggesting the rule is for then.
As for your second point, I'm sorry we're all so thick. Will you be less stroppy if we promise to read a few books about measurement?

I'm sure this sentiment will resound strongly amongst supporters as being key to everything we love about the game

No we understand how football works. Or used to.
And now it's broken. For the players, fans, everyone. Except maybe you.

Bollocks. As I’ve said before and no doubt will again, it’s just implementing the rule with an annoying degree of precision. If it was (something) like the attacker must be one foot in advance of the penultimate opposition player there would still be circumstances that look exactly the same to the naked eye but which was only given in one case because var recognised a minuscule difference invisible to the naked eye.
maybe the rule should be changed, but the problem - in this instance - is the rule, not var.

Bollocks back atcha. 99% of fans (And players) didn't have a problem with the rule. They have a problem with VAR and it's implementation which is causing farce. And match delaying momentum stopping farce at that.
You can stick your slide rule measurement up your arse frankly.

I don’t have any issue with most var beefs. It’s only for offside where I think you’re wrong.
This one over here:
VAR set to be used in the Premier League next season
There are other decisions happening in other games too.

Yeah, I personally reckon Gomez should be partnering VVD. Huge potential. Still. Klopp knows best, I'd trust him if he brought Richard Dunne out of retirement to play left wing
