‘Clarification’ from the VAR control room: ‘because of the positioning of the camera they couldn’t draw a definite line so it stays with the on field decision’
Just admit it was a massive cock up to add to the list you imbeciles, they are trying to defend the indefensible now. It’s clear from the pictures he’s at least a yard onside. Embarrassing.
Yet another game where the biggest talking point is a VAR decision?
Remind me again how VAR was meant to stop controversial decisions and eradicate obvious howlers? They are getting away with murder, from not giving us a penalty for Maguires assault the other day to a flick in the nose being enough the rule a goal out to incorrectly drawing a line on the screen.
It’s gone too far now, our officials and people running the VAR are incompetent and can’t be allowed to make these decisions. If this was happening with fans in the stadium it wouldn’t be tolerated, there would be riots.
Will the official making this error face any sort of retribution for this though? I think we all know the answer to that. Absolutely no accountability.
So had the lino not flagged, as they don't now, it would been given. But lino saw what looked an obvious offside and flaged. VAR, no sorry, everyone except VAR then saw it was not offside. No one would have said afterwards it was a wrong desicion had they given it.
