They need to change or drop Var... at minimum let anything close go and the call on field stand unless it is clearly offsides.
These armpit and arm cells are genuinely ruining games and taking goals and excitment away and there is no plus side for the game.
Or if it stays at least come up with a line that can be applied more cleanly and objectively. Like a foot or boot that everyone can see creating a black and white standard. Or some other body part that is part of the core (like the head) they can apply a line to cleanly. Preferably not an upper extremity you can even use in soccer which is nonsense and does not confer any advantage. And certainly not an armpit you cant even see or define
Palace dropped 2 points yesterday because Mariner who hates Zaha historically, was in the Var booth and drew a line of Zaha's armpit marginally (like maybe an inch or two) ahead of the other player. And it was literally a guess of where his arm ends and his body begins. It was absolutely ridiculous and totally subjective.
