It's a shame for the Dutch but what a remarkable illustration of how bad we are at VAR. And they're supposed to be the very best we've got (though Atwell's mere presence on that list shows how bizarre the whole thing's become).

Not clear and obvious, so should be a goal.
Onfield decision was offside.

VAR is not over-ruling it because it is not a clear and obvious error by the onfield officials.

Nonsense decision though because the keeper is not getting down for that second save whether there’s a player there or not.

Dutch given nothing all night...

Even after the ball went in I thought the officials would find a way to chalk it off
Agreed, Taylor's given the Dutch absolutely nothing.

Not for me Clive. He's miles offside and standing right next to the keeper who this couldn't dive! Fair enough if he's onside and therefore in the way of a dive, but he's not. That's blatant interference in an offside position.
I disagree, it happend so fast, French keeper wouldn't have been able to react any differently, at least imo!

Well, TBF lino effectively called it in real time, but offside isn't clear and obvious anyway
Did he? I assumed he got the signal from the semi-automated system. Offside wasn't the issue - it was a subjective call on whether the offside player made an impact. Wasn't in the keeper's line of sight and didn't attempt to play the ball.

Oh, possibly, ref did have some kind of chat with the lino.

Mistake from Taylor & Co, handled terribly as well. I think that should've stood.
In fairness, the one person I don't think you can blame there is Anthony Taylor.

His assistant (not sure which one it was, but they're both English) made the on-field call and then Attwell agreed with it from behind the monitor.

I'm slightly suprised that, as a subjective offside, Taylor wasn't called to the screen to make a final decision.

As a goalkeeper, Looking at the body language, that goalkeeper isn't diving even without a player next to him, he doesn't start low enough. He was caught out
Sorry, but that's always offside (except in our game at Villa last season naturally). He is very much interfering, I agree that the keeper wouldn't have got there but with the current interpretation I think they've got that right

It wasn't the VAR that disallowed it, it was the lino who flagged. At that point VAR have just confirmed he is offside and standing next to the keeper. Probably the right decision despite the fact I doubt the keeper would have saved it.
I think if it was a goal scored against Brighton we would all be screaming blue murder about offside and interference.

Feels like you need to score 2 goals to score 1 with VAR these days. Absolutely fed up with it, sucks all the joy out of football.
