A simple solution to the points raised by Max Rushden (Wenger wants to fix VAR offsides but broken handball rule is the real problem, 8 May) would be to abolish offside altogether. It adds absolutely nothing to the sport, and only creates frustrations and endless video assistant referee (VAR) delays. While on the subject of law changes in professional football, why stop the match to make a substitution (with the exception of goalkeepers)? There is a fourth official controlling the change who can ensure that the substitute does not enter the field of play until the player being replaced has left it. Both these changes would improve the sport no end.

• In race walking, the rule for referees is that the infringement has to be visible to the human eye. Instead of torturing ourselves endlessly with the expensive tech solutionism of VAR, we rely instead on human sight and common sense.
