I thought the Everton goal was a good one wasn't it? Doesn't a player become live after a deflection from an opposing player?
Yeah they say they'll use a thicker line for offside, only thing is some teams lines will be thicker than others.and when someone is a full toe offside, they'll say it's still too close, then a foot, then a leg. Football is an analogue sport being (mis)controlled by a digital system.
Here's a suggestion to rid ourselves of this VAR offside joke.
Why not scrap offsides altogether? Would make the pitch much bigger wouldn't it?
It's about as good a suggestion as the decisions being made by VAR.

It was a decision to keep them nearer top 4. The alpaca saw the original shot as he clearly moves to his right. The ball deflects to his other side which again he could see as starts to shift his weight. If a player lying on the ground is in the eyesight of a 6ft+ keeper then the keeper has a problem. If he wasn't on the ground the ball still would have crossed the line. Awful decision and it was quite clearly a bent oneHow could he be obstructing De Gea's view? Prior to the deflection, he going off in the direction of the initial shot, so could quite clearly see the ball then.
Why does this suddenly come into play once it goes in the net?
Absolute farce
