For margins so tight, I think they should stick with the on field decision. Ruining what would have previously been perfectly good goals where the judgement would have been in the analysis that they were level

Bournemouth would have been robbed of a famous win today had it not been for VAR

In its current format, the fact an armpit can somehow be off side is a bit much..anyone for clear and obvious error?

The 2 challenge thing might be a good idea too but still should on top of ground rules that goals do not have to be absolutely perfect goals like the slightest of pushes or marginal offsides. there are only 1-2 goals per game on average so you would still get teams

I think leave the marginal calls to the conceding team to challenge if its borderline. Only review goals when challenged.  Not nitpicking every single goal to see if someone is 2mm offside. There is definitely a way around the issues.  Just needs time to iron this stuff out.    Scoring goals and celebrating then having it ruled off 2 mins later is a bit annoying.

As for the 2mm offside he either is or he isn't simple as that , now if you say you can't give something that is around that  then what happens if he is 3mm offside and so on .

As in other sports, I trust the technology used is advanced enough to provide  the evidence for the correct decision to be implemented as per the laws of the sport at the time. So it's left to those who don't want it, to question it. They'll always find something to question, but the evidence is there for us all to see, as a camera cannot be conned.
