The Premier League VAR debate, when will it end?

Probably not for a while, with the technology all but certain to remain in the world's most-watched league for the foreseeable future.

But the amount of contentious offside decisions given in the Premier League on the weekend has left fans across the globe reeling and demanding change.

Dan Burn, Teemu Pukki and Max Meyer all had goals chalked off by 'armpit offsides' on Saturday, before Pedro Neto saw his strike at Anfield on Sunday chalked off for a bizarre offside call on Jonny Otto.

So how do we move on from this mess? Well, we could be in luck, because the football law-makers IFAB (International Football Association Board) have stated that VAR should NOT be used for marginal offside decisions.

Lukas Brud said the IFAB will issue guidance on how to implement the technology with regards to offside, which will essentially mean telling the English authorities that it cannot measure such marginal offsides - as they are not clear and obvious.

"Clear and obvious still remains - it's an important principle. There should not be a lot of time spent to find something marginal," Brud said, per Daily Mail.

"If something is not clear on the first sight, then it's not obvious and it shouldn't be considered. Looking at one camera angle is one thing but looking at 15, trying to find something that was potentially not even there, this was not the idea of the VAR principle. It should be clear and obvious."

The IFAB have stated that this information is not new, so why have the Premier League chosen to ignore it and sour a number of games throughout the season?

Mike Riley and PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) surely need to have a long hard look at themselves for helping fuel such dismay for the new technology.

It's only been the marginal offsides that have stirred up such rage from fans and if they weren't even necessary, then it's a pretty spectacular fail by the English officiating authorities.
