The whole VAR thing is a shambles - it may be here to stay but the 'human error' side remains the constant in all decisions made and we have so many inconsistencies in ruling across the various games that it detracts from its purpose and creates uncertainty in interpretation. Much to the disdain of players and supporters especially of those clubs outside the so-called 'Big 4/6' who seem to fall foul of its inadequacies more and more often.

If you have to draw a line to check if it a player is level with the last defender, I'd say the attacker is probably level with the last defender (and therefore onside). The arbitrary positioning of the lines against the player, then where the vertical line meets the flat surface of the pitch in another plane cannot be done with the degree of precision that that they pretend they have. It shows they don't know what they are dealing with.
Linesman flagged gray offside anyway so even without VAR it would have been ruled out

Unfortunately the linesman, who had a shocker flagged the goal.
So no var ,still no goal.
So no var ,still no goal.
It really does ruin the game for me when the spontaneity of celebrating a goal is removed. Even players delay celebrating. Has ripped the heart and soul out of the game 
The line is just wrong.
It should be where the feet are planted, it's football ffs. This elbow/armpit/boil on the bonce is an absolute pile of crap

As others have said, VAR isn’t the problem, it’s the idiots making the definitions & the incompetents making the calls.
Offside should be on the feet! End of! No shoulder, elbow, nose hair bollox..
When a goal like that one of Gray’s last night doesn’t stand, I agree the game is being ruined, but not by the technology.

I can live with that, close calls are tough, considered reviews that are still wrong is baffling

Why are officials operating it. Hawkeye is run by a computer. No bias there. This offside system can be manipulated by the officials they can decide which frame they use, where they put the lines. It’s borders on cheating.

Hit the nail on the head. The feet are planted on the floor and is the only true datum in this system.
It's never been feet since the offside law was first introduced. Why would we want to change it to that now?
