Great chat lads on what is a very polarising issue. I just think the rule itself makes it impossible for it to be applied consistently. As much as it needs to be viewed objectively, the interpretation by the ref's and VAR is definitely subjective depending on who the ref is and who is sitting in the VAR booth. It can't be anything else other than that and the inconsistency of the decisions being made attests to that. And let's not forget that it doesn't matter how many tv angles you get, they are all two dimensional, slowed down frame by frame which always makes things look worse than they are. The human body doesn't move at that speed
A common sense, reasonable person approach needs to be taken when making these decisions, especially by VAR but alas it rarely happens.
