The International Football Association Board has said the video assistant referee system should not be “too forensic” when it comes to making offside decisions and should only be used to reverse “clear and obvious” errors.
Five goals in the Premier League were ruled out at the weekend for marginal off-sides infringements, leading some managers and players to criticise the technology..
IFAB’s General Secretary, Lukas Brud says the body would re-issue guidance on VAR’s use after its annual general meeting in February.

Lukas says if multiple minutes are spent in trying to identify if there was an offside call or not, then the original decision should stand.
