Why is everyone 'up in arms' at armpit-gate? This is VAR working - it's the rules that need changing. The offside explanation (any part of the body that can play the ball) includes the shoulder area so I honestly don't know what the fuss is about; it's like VAR is too accurate! Just change the rule to head or boot if needs be

Realistically though it isn't accurate enough to make those super tight calls.

Given the frame rate of the cameras and the speed of the players there can be a 10cm+ difference depending which frame you choose for a player kicking the ball.

Fair point- of course it could work the other way showing people on side which in reality may not be, that would never carry the same amount of uproar; in that case the rule needs to be amended to suit the technology I'd say.
