There used to be a chant that went 'His nose is offside, his nose is offside, someone or other, his nose is offside'. How long before we see some some poor bastard with a decent sized conk looking the wrong way and being pinged for just that?
Good job VAR wasn't around when Kevin Hird used to play for us then.
On a serious note, the only way to do it is draw the lines at the feet.
I hate VAR and wish it was scrapped.

Yep, apart from the result obviously, I really enjoyed the cup game against wolves with no VAR in use. Game flowed just like the old days.
 
I know FIFA don’t want any English officials for VAR duties in the WC, but where are the referees and linesmen? not seen any as yet or have I missed them?
 
Probably the only thing fifa got right mate if they've not bothered with English referees, they're the worst in the world

Can’t remember the teams involved but the Qatar referee I saw the other day was far better than the useless English refs and Qatar isn’t even a proper footballing country <laugh>

Tbh Forza they are football mad, they import big names to play with there own, I remember having a couple of rounds of golf with a certain Gabriel Batistuta in Doha back on the late 90’s who said some of the players were not bad at all.
