2 decisions that I am aware of today that VAR would have overruled. RS and Spurs. MOTD didn't give more than 1 second to discussing Salad being offside and Keown said Alli was possibly offside but deserved the goal for his performance. 
Then when they get it right against Lacazette we are told that he 'was offside then but he wasn't offside the second time' so it was a 'close call'.

you should know that the narrative changes to suit the darlings of the Sky6, that will even apply to the VAR officials when that comes in. Not much will change. They'll just choose a different frame to pause at that shows what they want to show; a ball isn't kicked instantly, it is in contact with the foot for about 1/3 second I guess, so that's a few frames to choose from to see which one is most favourable to the Sky62 decisions that I am aware of today that VAR would have overruled.

I should make a list for anyone who's against VAR.
This time around Bournemouth wouldn't have a penalty against Wolves as the contact was made clearly out of the box, Cardiff would have had a pen against Watford as it was clear as a day. The ammount of controversial decisions in the Premier League is stunning and there is no better league to have this system in place. Next season will be much much different.

Well, it doesn't stop very dodgy pens for the big clubs then.

or offside decisions going their way. Indulge me here...
when a ball is kicked, the ball is in contact with the kicking foot for a period of time, albeit short, but let's say 1/4 second. As TV cameras are some distance away from the kick, the ball can seem to be in very close proximity to the kicking foot for a fraction of a second before and after the ball is in contact with the foot (cricket fans will recognise these issues from catches close to the ground appearing to bounce prior to catching whereas the reality is that the ball was caught). Therefore, in practice, there could be about up to half a second (maybe a bit long but it proves the point to come) of footage that the ball can be adjudged to be being kicked. That is 12 or so frames of footage, assuming a PAL standard recording rate of 25Hz. So the TV producer or whoever is adjudicating, has 12 frames to choose from to decide whether the player is offside. This is really sensitive when the defender is rushing out and attacker rushing goal-wards. Some of the frames will show him onside, some will show him offside. Takes yer pick depending on the narrative. This VAR swizzle won't change much.
I've just read that post above back to myself, may I apologise for it being a bit RAWK/koppite.
Seen articles which state it's when the first contact is made - not when the ball leaves the foot.
There is a right and wrong. Hopefully the people in charge are aware of which is which.

Yesterday's game, Chelsea put through on goal the linesman flagged, the ref blew up, replay showed it was a very tight call, it was centre meters, great loop hole for the refs , let play go on for some teams then use var , other teams they can blow and not give the var a chance to make the right decision.

VAR is crap. Already ruining games with phantom decisions
do you know what is crap
a team getting relegated because a ref made a mistake
a team missing out on europe because a ref made a mistake
a team missing out winning the title because a ref made a mistake
that is crap

Yeah - wonder if that goal would have stood? Collina would probably overrule the decision!!! Biggest fix ever
I agree... American football sucks now because in the stadium you're constantly waiting for the play to be cleared to celebrate.
Bad calls happen. It's part of the game. I get money is involved, but almost all parties involved are doing better than us. Take the lumps and move on.
It's really not that serious.
