When it comes to offside with VAR, wouldn't the logical solution be that whatever part of the body the ball touches should be the part that's deemed offside on a player?

So what is the fix?
Do they put a tolerance number into the review ?
Say 30cm is acceptable ?
False god and all
And did you?
Now that was a show...isn't that where Sir. Lenworth Henry got his start? Also Chris Tarrant!
Clearer now. Thanks.
I always thought the standard was "if the player is interfering with the play"
Did he cross himself?
surely that's even more depressing
I wish I could like this a million times over!
At least print it out, magnify it and hang it up in the dressing room.
At one stage, I wouldn't have swapped any of our players for any others, because we had an incredible team spirit that stretched from the boardroom to the academy. There was a hunger for the ball that enabled us to play some scintillating football, with an edge to our play that looked like putting our Spursey tag to bed, once and for all.
I honestly believed that we had the best manager in the world and players who would run through fire for our shirt. I guess that I don't believe that now, which makes it so much more painful to see what's happening now.
Unfortunately I don't think that arguing the toss over statistics and formations is going to help and I can't offer any solutions. I just want to see players who give their all, every single minute they are on the pitch - is that too much to ask?
Unfortunately it wasn't!
Read a fair bit of this thread but cant agree that the VAR cost us the game.
Was it a tough call ? Maybe. Doesn't take away from the fact that once again, we capitulated after going ahead.
Teams playing with confidence and steel, win these games. They win ugly if need be. No one remembers who led at one point, or how many chances we had, when the season points are tallied. Points dropped again.
No idea whats going on behind the scenes, but we seem very vulnerable at the minute.

As Bill Nicholson once said...
“If you don’t have to drag yourself off the field exhausted after 90 minutes, you can’t claim to have done your best.”
Nailed it..
Sent you a PM ....
Unfortunately the player's have stopped believing as well which is part of the problem.
Was working all day yesterday and missed the game, I couldn't bring myself to watch the match last night.
Having watched MOTD there I am absolutely disgusted as to how the fuck that Son offside can be given. Its got to such a precise point now that a player with a baggy jersey can be offside ffs and the point the guys made about when the ball is actually passed is valid too-why the fuck isn't the benefit of the doubt given to the attacking side any more which has ALWAYS been the case in 140 years of football?
Wanted tech when we were truly awful and the mendes goal at OT wasn't given because I wanted to get an advantage for a shite team but this VAR bollocks is destroying the game along with the financial doping of rich clubs. Seeing a team backed by an oil rich countrys royal family put 8 past a premier league club with ease yesterday is depressing as well.
As far as our lot go-I think Poch has been gone in his head since last season-his chat in the media is painful to hear. How can he talk about mentality etc while saying he was going to leave if we won the CL? His negativity has fed down to the players IMHO. We look finished atm, 3 'easy' matches coming up won't even fix our problems I am afraid. This is now a rebuilding project again, has HE got the mentality and bottle for it? I'm not sure he does tbqh because we are light years away from actually challenging again.
