VAR has the potential to make the game much better. The refs' interpretations of the subjective rules are the issue. The whole rulebook needs to be rewritten with the aim to eliminate grey areas.
Offside lines should be drawn from the back foot of the attacker. It was designed to stop goalhanging, not to penalise attackers who gain no advantage from being a centimetre offside.
This one I'm not even sure I agree with but here goes... Headers should be banned because repeated knocks to the head are not good. In exchange, anything above the sleeves of the shirt should not be classed as handball.

Totally agree about the offside rule. It's so boring when attacking play is ruined on a technicality based on a three pixel attacking advantage. Totally misses the point.
