You said a hand can be offside. You clearly don't know the basics.
Get rid of VAR NOW! We want our game back! (...or not, some are happy)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
VAR cannot overrule without definitive proof, so a judgement call isn't allowed
No I didn’t, that was someone else that posted that.
It is that clear cut. Handball stands one week for Liverpool, not the next for a different team. Goals gets ruled out for a foul for Liverpool one week. Doesn’t for a different team the next week. It is their clear cut.
also, while I’m at it, phase of plays in relation to offside is not new and has been around years so you’re wrong there.
having to change the offside rule to suit var, you’re wrong there.
thinking you’re right on every opinion, wrong there.
I just quoted it for you.
"Otherwise why would VAR rule a player offside for having their hand beyond the last defender?"
That is your post. So not only do you not know the basics of offside you can't even read your own posts.
Again quoting a post from month ago. Bore off.
VAR sucks, I don't even want to debate it. It's the worst thing ever that could happen to football
Bin it off.
Football sucks now. Hate it.
Yeah that’s all fine but that’s not what people want the rule to be. As I and others have said the offside rule exists to stop goal hanging. Clearly Wolves didn’t gain an advantage from their player being 1-2mm offside and shouldn’t that be the point?
People either should be against the offside rule, or usage of VAR. To say its the humans fault, while they are following a legal protocol, is ridiculous.
They haven't really, at least in terms of VAR reversing decisions in a way that favours them. If they've been lucky it has been in VAR not overturning decisions the on-pitch had already made in their favour anyway, which would also have stood without VAR.
You can see the table for overturns here:

I can understand it's implementation, in the fact that it's trying to make the game fairer, but feck me is it inconsistent! Seems to me like it's open to abuse and bias from those making the decisions. Some of the calls have been utterly ridiculous!
If the rules was put in there by men it can be changed by them. These milimetercalls and controversial calls only say that the system need discussion.
I absolutely hate the narrative that it is the PL refs messing up. La liga is awful as well.
Hahah, I love that the proof is a video filmed on a potato, depicting the incident from behind VVDs back.
I just can’t accept that. I shouldn’t have watched Utd go out of competitions because of a terrible refereeing decision.
That ruins football for me.
This is year 1 of VAR and it always takes time to introduce technology to sport. Adapting rules to account for the ‘accuracy’ of VAR is the logical way to resolve this over-officiating of VAR. VAR and Referees also need to adjust their attitude and realise VAR is there to help refs not to criticise them and getting decisions right is the important thing.
Cricket had real teething problems with DRS but the game has definitely improved for having it
Liverpool getting the same VAR treatment as Barcelona in Spain. Dreadful to see.
IFAB said it could take 10 years before VAR is fully working and understood, so I suppose you can't accuse them of being unaware that it would have a difficult introduction.
A lot of bridges have been quickly burned with needless mistakes though.
true but those rules are changed by IFAB alone and they won't do anything until the summer at the earliest, VAR will be tweaked and altered over the coming years but they won't do anything in the European season.
Eventually VAR will work much better, we are living through the teething problems

Handball needs to be deliberate.
Who told you this?
not in the build up to the goal, also Sky have said they checked the VVD handball and the evidence was "inconclusive"
not anymore. It was changed in the summer so if it hits your hand in any position in the build up to a goal it should be disallowed.
When defending its handball if your arms is in an unnatural position. They have a body silhouette that they work to when deciding handballs against defenders.
The fact the vast majority of Liverpool fans are in favour of VAR tells it’s own story.
Sounds stupid.
More similar to the Silva(?) handball in the build up to a City goal a few weeks ago then? As in if they can't definitively see definite contact with the hand then they don't call the handball.
Thats not accurate.

Only if that person scores the goal or creates the goal.
He did all but create the goal though. Mad rule. Who comes up with this shit
What are you talking about??
there was nothing wrong with the VAR decisions today
they were all correct
the issue is the ruling of it, the rules are a joke
no one can deny the decisions today going off the ruling that VAR operates under
I’m buzzing with the 3 points, but I can’t deny VAR isn’t working to how we all hoped
Sky have an agenda with Liverpool this season. 30 years since they last won the league, it’s a perfect story for them. I won’t be watching the weekend they can guarantee the title whilst Martin Tyler comes out with some crap about them being the best Champions in living history. They did the exact same thing with City two years ago.
Even when Liverpool lost 5-0 to Villa in the League cup the kids were ‘unlucky’.
They field an ineligible player, swepped under the carpet like nothing happened.
they almost certainly do which is why I rarely watch their pre and post game guff, beyond direct analysis of the game just played but in this instance they are just telling you what PGMOL say, the VVD handball was checked but it was inconclusive
Man city goal?
In football, what happens if the ball hits the referee and ends up in the goal? ... If the ball touches the referee (or another match official) and goes into the goal, team possession changes or a promising attack starts, a dropped ball is awarded.

Getting ridiculous now and just seems to be a bunch of attention seekers who cherry pick which incidents they want to change. How on earth does a new rule get implemented at the start of the season, involving Ref's contamination and drop balls, only for VAR to completely discard said rule? Literally starting to kill the game to the point that some incidents just seem like blatant cheating now.
I thought they changed it this summer so if it hits the ref its an automatic drop ball?
It is.
well if it hasn't been enforced by the Ref and the VAR missed it too sack them both, its a pretty basic law to forget
That is shocking.
