Totally agree.

I think these rules give a massive advantage to defenders. I remember when teams used to play for offside by all defenders stepping up the pitch as a unit. The great Milan teams of the late 80's and 90's were masters at it and it gave them a big advantage. Surely with this VAR nonsense they can start doing that again. Only a foot or a hand needs to be closer to the gaols so why not step up as a unit and, even if a goal is scored, VAR will almost certainly rule it out.

They've got do something and its got to be in place by next seasons cuz some of the decisions these days are ruining the game
