Fans Against VAR - Join us

No way was the offside law invented to prevent goals like this. 6 seasons ago that's a goal and no one bats an eyelid

No one?

Not even West Ham supporters? Come on, now.

How do you know what the linesman would have done. He could have easily flagged for it without VAR.

But he didn't. And he shouldn't. Because the law wasn't invented to prevent goals like.that.

He didn't because they are directed not to with VAR in use.

Even before VAR linesman or whatever the hell we are supposed to call them now were told to give the attacker the benefit of the doubt.

Don't tell me anyone seriously thinks it is fair or rational to disallow a goal because of this???

By using VAR against VAR, you, too, have become...

Well, it's kind of ironic.

Even playing by its own rules I can't make any sense of it!

Disallowing that Wolves goal is totally against the spirit of the offside law. Human eye can't spot that, it was to prevent goal hanging. Absolute joke.

Looked offside on first view, and was proven offside by the VAR.

The issue was how bloody long it took, automated offside takes seconds.

You've shown on many occasions you don't understand the laws. This is another such time.

The law was invented to prevent offside goals, it WAS offside.

If you want to criticise VAR then query why Coufal hasn't been sent off for 2 fucking disgusting and dangerous "challenges" straight out of the Ben Thatcher scrapbook, genuinely disgusting, and without VAR the FA probably look at those challenges and punish him - because we have VAR now, they won't.

Understand perfectly. You don't understand the spirit that the laws were meant to be implemented with.

 

[fansagainstvar]

The laws of football were never written with VAR in mind. VAR is ruling goals out for things near impossible to tell with the human eye.

I'm more pissed off about this challenge not getting even a booking than the performance. What are they doing in that VAR room!?

Sarabia was offside, I thought offside with 0 replays. Let's not pretend "that's a goal 20 years ago", it isn't.

You are wrong here. The law was brought in to prevent the previously common act of what we now call goal hanging.
You are factually wrong. And if you DM I can provide multiple sources about why the law was changed. And it always mentions goal hanging. Not millimetres """offside""" goals.
