Will this new rule apply to all the leagues? If so it will be a nightmare for us lower league teams that don't have VAR. We already see VAR madness when linesmen (and women, transgender persons!) keep their flag down instead of putting it up straight away because that's what they have been told to do because of VAR.
Total madness!

This is only pertinent to the Premiership who can afford the £1.2 million pa for VAR to run.
Will it make people happy? Nope. There will be still people moaning about being off/on-side by a pixel.
Will it create more goals? Maybe,  as the striker can be half a stride ahead of the backs. However,
Will it change the shape of the game? Probably, as the backs will not keep a high line, so the striker has less "empty" space to use with newfound freedom.
What is certain, the game has split into two types of games. One with VAR and HawkEye goalline tech, the other with Flags.
As mentioned it's of no interest to GTFC as they don't have £1.2 million to spare, and if they did tarting up Blundel Park would be a better option.
