I hate the modern game mostly because of money but also because of the new rules; hand-ball, not interfering with play, offside, 11 substitutes, ball line technology and of course VAR.
I love ball line technology - its perfect, just line tennis and cricket - it can't be argued with.
The only other thing, even though I hate it, I can reluctantly accept is offside. We can change the rule on what is offside e.g. big toe, head, chest but once decided the computer draws the line and it is binary. Simple fact of offside or not. This season it is the big toe and I am fine with it - next season it could be trailing foot and I will again be fine with it.
But goals will be scored or disallowed based on fine margins all the same.
