Clinging onto the hope that they seem to have let in a few late goals this season.1-0
On the TV absolutely, In the stadium absolutely not. That would distract the players far too much.
I'm not sure they should. I would imagine they thought it was a pen pretty quickly and wanted the ref to look at it but were waiting for a stop to do so. What they didn't want to do was stop an attack for the ref to say it wasn't a penalty.
Yeah, that hasn't happened yet but it will. We almost scored against Forest before the game was stopped for their penalty.

Video Assistant Referee (VAR) protocol | IFAB
"If play has not already stopped, the referee stops play when the ball is next in a neutral zone/situation (usually when neither team is in an attacking move) and shows the ‘TV signal’"
There were 'mitigating' circumstances re the Lamptey/March one though. In the first half Kane 'won' a penalty by dangerously backing into Lallana, and there was also a clear penalty for holding Trossard not given. The ref will have seen at half-time that he had cocked those up - and at the time the general feeling was that he let the equaliser stand to 'level things up'.
No he didn't have to, but he did. Once he's played advantage, deliberately or not, it would be against the rules to later give a free kick and remove a legitimate goal.
