Former Arsenal manager Wenger, now FIFA’s chief of global football development, wants to improve the laws to stop “armpit offsides” which have become a regular thing with VAR. Although the controversial proposal has been met with a mixed reception, it is understood to have support from those inside both FIFA and UEFA. And legendary official Collina - currently the European governing body's Head of Referees - is also on board with the plan. The use of VAR this season has been particularly controversial regarding the application of the offside rule, with a number of goals disallowed for marginal offences. "It is not up for approval to come into the Laws of the Game," Brud told ESPN.
