I think we might have seen this all brushed under the carpet had it been City, United or Liverpool etc;

I thought they did? or was it just that they made the lines a tiny bit fatter?
If the Lino doesn't flag then it needs to be clear and obvious, if the lines are touching, it's not clear or obvious and goals should stand. Would make it better IMO but people will still moan. If the Lino flags and the toenail is offside then... well played Lino good guess!
They also need to get better cameras and setup to properly judge when the ball was actually kicked, the Richi goal ruled out against Forest was a total joke, the still they used had the ball about 10 yards off Skipp's boot.

It's the absurdity of using microscopy for offsides but allowing throw-ins to be taken 20-30 yards further on from where the ball went out of play that gets me. Not that I'm advocating making a fuss about throw-ins, mind. Rather that the VAR be allowed to apply common sense when judging offsides.
The lino only gets a fleeting second to judge an offside, so why is the VAR allowed 3, 4, even 5 minutes to make his mind up? If it's not clear and obvious to him after, say, 60 seconds then let the fudging goal stand and put us all out of our misery for heaven's sake.

Freekick the other way, i think...
NO idea what no.29 was trying to do, but he fouls the guy in red

It was play on, the check happened a bit after the incident and no penalty was given!

This is what Wenger is proposing for the offside rule to FIFA.

That's not making it any better imo. Taking it a bit too far
I would prefer that if both feet are onside it's OK, measured at the ankles.

Yeh just some common sense needed. The striker in general is going to be heading in the different direction at times to the defender, if his feet are behind the defender but his momentum means his body is leaning towards to goal, to call it offside is ridiculous IMO
Just make the toes the parts that count and put sensors on them.
Nobody questions goals just over the line any more - take the decision making away and there's nothing to argue about.

Apparently they're still trialing it this year, so won't be happening this season, but maybe next if they sign it off.

This makes sound sense so long as we're not talking fingernails. Imagine being given offside because your boot is one milimetre ahead of the defender's
. So maybe allow a tolerance of say 5cm (two inches). I wouldn't argue with that. Also the technology needs to be precise about when exactly the ball cleared the boot of the player passing it.
