ESPN's resident expert on Video Assistant Refereeing, the rules of the game and their interpretation in the modern era of incidents reviewed on screens, sometimes hundreds of miles away, Dale Johnson, joins Jake Humphrey and guests to discuss the changes that are coming to the Premier League, in particular semi-automated offside.
They debate the degree to which bringing in technology mid-way through a season and not having VAR in all FA Cup and EFL Cup ties destroys the integrity of the respective competitions.

We shouldn't have big toes counting as offside.
And with me having criticised officials and still do, it may help them.
I keep saying, VAR isn't the problem, it's the implementation. Football has made a song and dance of it, causing a lot of resentment amongst supporters.

I hate the VAR implementation of the offside rule but at least this should improve the speed of decision-making.
