I switched off after the handball. It ain't football any more. At least your club had some balls.
Hmmm, seems a big coincidence that the most controversial moments seem to happen when the English officials are in the middle. I'm watching it abroad so don't have the benefit/hindrance of English commentary, but if Atwell doesn't pull the handball back, I doubt it's barely discussed.
It should be a question the ref asks as they do in other sports:More generally on VAR and officiating, and this is especially applicable to the PL, instead of actively looking for reasons to disallow a goal, which is definitely how it is used in the PL, they should be looking at whether there is anything significant enough to not allow the goal to stand (or award a penalty like last night).
It seems like a minor semantic change, but would potentially make a big difference.
I wouldn't. It was so tight there's no way you can be 100% certain that is is THAT accurate.Denmark manager had a still image of the offside saying it’s not accurate.
Trust me if it was the other way you’d want it disallowed.

And even if it was that accurate I still wouldn't like it as it's so close that it is essentially level, or should be in any common sense interpretation of the law and what it was intended for.
Unfortunately technology has overtaken the current laws and the way they were written and what they were intended for. If it's impossible to see with the naked eye on a still image then I don't like it being given offside. But that's just me personally. Plenty seem to like it.
Consistency of use is a completely different argument to whether I agree with the process.You absolutely would if it had been used in that way against someone else but not for you.

Ha, it's not the original, I was only 8But does it still fit?
First one was fair (Guéhi sold down the river by lazy play by Trippier). The Mainoo one is not a yellow, he's got to go for that ball and he doesn't go in with any force.Well this ref likes his cards!
