Your not listening. Offside is factual. Fouls are subjective.You're arguing different things here.

No, sorry, you're not getting it.Your not listening. Offside is factual. Fouls are subjective.
VAR is for "clear and obvious errors" yet that's not how it's employed.
You can't grant one official the pardon of human error and not them all.
Too much of a grey area and it seems it will never be black and white as to when and what it will get involved with. Should be way, way, way down the list of methods to implement in improving officiating.

I am getting it.
Offside is factual so its either a clear and obvious error or it isn't. The point the offside line is drawn is factual as well the point in time the passer first touches the ball.

You're clearly not getting it though. If you have to pause an image, view it from multiple angles and draw an actual line on the screen to determine whether or not someone was marginally offside then by mere definition alone it is NOT a "clear and obvious error". Therefore, by your logic, VAR can't rule over it.I am getting it.

You are granting referees an excuse in human error that they can miss something, that penalty in the Brazil/Belgium game. It wasn't, to you, an obvious mistake from the official so VAR cannot determine it or be brought into use.
Neither would it be if a linesman kept his flag down because Harry Kane's pinky toe was offside before he scored.
You are either off or you're not, yes. You either bring somebody down illegally in the box or you don't as well. If VAR can't be brought in for one, it can't be brought in for either.
Or you do it for both.

Oh. My. Lord!
It's not MY choice to keep players on the fricking field!!
Blame the football governing bodies!!
And football isn't ever "simple" otherwise there'd be free-for-alls all over the pitch!!

Since you don't know what you're talking about already, this is for you... Again!
Again, I can't seem to get it through to people that the IFAB/ FIFA people have made that decision for the WORLD CUP!!
Stop making up conspiracy theories to fit your extremely poor narrative!

Thought this thread needed resurrecting given what we have just seen.
VAR ... arbitrary in the least.
