Buffon II
Ian Wright and Big Ange both spot on in punditry about the current offside rule. Chalking goals off because half a kneecap is off is a nonsense.

The game is about goals being scored, not forensically searching for a reason to rule them out.

This is silly take; you're either arguing that (a) VAR shouldn't review offside rules at all (and it's entirely on the assistant) or (b) you want to introduce subjectivity to an objective rule, which will result in even more controversy.

VAR's biggest issue is subjective rules that were excusable when a human was ruling in real time lead to inconsistency and controversy when reviewed by a camera in slow motion. We need more objective rules, not less.
