Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his discontent with VAR technology following Spurs' victory over Southampton. Despite securing a win, he was frustrated by a lengthy VAR check that disallowed a goal due to a marginal offside call, which took nearly five minutes to resolve. Postecoglou believes that offside decisions should not be determined with such precision and is hopeful that semi-automated offside tech will expedite decision processes in the future. He feels the current system delays the game unnecessarily, contrasting past ways of handling offside calls.
"If you told me a few years ago that we would be spending five minutes during a football game standing around I would never have believed you."
"Offside was never meant to be microscopically adjudged but if they ever get to a place when that is done instantaneously then I accept it because offside is offside."
