It’s not related (I presume) but no team has had a goal approved by VAR only for the ref to not give the goal. Not sure a worse VAR debacle has happened. Totally embarrassing

Didn't someone get relegated by a point or two in the covid season after they failed to notice Sheffield United scoring against Villa?

Edit: Bournemouth and Watford finished a point behind Villa, who drew that game 0-0.

Under the rules VAR could not possibly send Pickford off as the on-field decision was offside as VVD committed and offside offence before the foul.

The rule is



VVD was in an offside position and attempted to play the ball before the challenge therefore as above the offside offence should be punished not the foul

Surely it classes as violent conduct, which makes offside irrelevant to it?

So Pickford could have run VVD through with a sword and it wouldn't have been penalised?

You'd think that, but I think that's a grey area, it was shit from Pickford, but he wouldn't have went for the ball in that way if the ball wasn't in play. He didn't just go out to boot VVD, it was a result of him trying to block a shot.

If it was blew for offside first he wouldn't have attempted it and never connected.

They're once again making this out to be the biggest injustice ever, when there have been far worse decisions.

Yes. That was goal line technology rather than VAR.

That’s not true - the ref said they missed it and could have sent off JP. It was widely reported after the game that the ref messed up and admitted it.

By your logic, you could commit a bad foul after a flag had gone up but be immune to a sanction.

You technically can, for example there have been many times where a stonewall penalty for a clear foul overturned because of an offside in the build up.

That's just totally wrong.
Even the officials have said they missed the red because they were so obsessed with checking the offside.
