VAR should be similar - especially with offsides BUT is very much open to interpretation and until it is as clear cut as Hawkeye - it will be a mess. His arm is in front of his boot etc.. which part of anatomy is key..? Who decides? Was that Handball? Did his his silhouette get bigger etc.. Again it can be interpreted differently and even twisted to suit an agenda.
It will never be as clear as goal line technology because decisions are based on opinions. Goal line technology cannot be disputed.
If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.
