"The Times are reporting that IFAB are looking at reviewing the offside law in light of the Man City goal and similar incidents so there’s clearly something there."
That's strange as IFAB came out after that decision and said they won't be reviewing it.
My mistake. That was about the handball after the Spurs game.

The original rules never said anything about a player being penalised because his armpit is 2cm 'offside'.
======
Hard to score with your armpit so this is neither here nor there.
I saw that about handball. That’s an attempt to try and make handball as black and white as possible but handball has been a mess for years.
Link for the offside IFAB review, it’ll be interesting if anything comes of it.

So Jesus's goal in the WHU v City game should have stood?
I didn't say that.
Which goal are you on about anyway?

Well hopefully they see sense and leave it alone. Theres no point using VAR for offside if they change it, may as well let the referee get on with it considering some mistakes are going to be allowed and some aren't.
Or they see sense and use VAR for clear and obvious errors and do what the do in the MLS and use an ‘Umpire’s call’ style system for those really tight decisions. That’s a good use of technology.

We'll have to agree to disagree there. People are going to be pretty annoyed when it goes against their club and think why have VAR in the first place if it can't even be used for the easy black and white decisions.
We’re 2 games into the season and already seen a goal ruled out when the player making the assist was 2cm ‘offside’ and a goal allowed when the assist maker was 4cm offside.
Total shambles already

Which goal was allowed when 4cm offside?
The Wolves equaliser against United
Sterling didn’t score when his armpit was offside, it was Jesus

Just heard this on Sky Sports and it reminded me of this thread - 22 goals disallowed this season on marginal calls. The rule just isn’t fit for purpose when judged by the margins that VAR judges by, it needs changing ASAP.
