It sucks, but offside is offside. If you start giving them discretion to allow it because it was a minor touch, then you're adding a layer of subjectivity to one of the few rules that is clear-cut. Then, when a similar goal is ruled in or out because that ref that day gave it the other way, then people will be even angrier.

That's exactly what happens week in week out in the PL though.
And I think Senor Arteta would have been proud with Nikola Vlasic's rugby tackle in the area... One thing VAR got spot on.
