VAR again!

[homesickblues]

Another goal disallowed with a marginal call. Must have been a small part of Maddison's shoulder there. Looked a good goal

Visibly you'd have said onside to that. Shame it wasn't given.

I really want Leicester to beat those Lundun "Im it" wannabee`s.

I was suprised at where the VAR officials froze the pictures as it looked to me as if the ball had left Justin's foot on the frame they used to show it was mm offside. It is vital that they get the timing right and I am not convinced that they always do.

Agree it depends on the timing and maybe this one was designed to give Spurs a lifeline.

If it‘s very tight though then at least it’s a marginal decision rather than an obvious error by a dodgy ref.

No problem with VAR as long as it is consistent .

You must be as disappointed with it as the rest of us then

This is where cricket does better with an 'umpires call' for close decisions

But this involves overturning an umpire's decision or not. As the linesman aren't flagging for offside how do you overrule or not when a decision hasn't been made?

For two reasons. Firstly, in most cases the assistant referees do flag, however the flag is delayed until a goal is scored (or the immediate attack is over). Secondly, if there's no flag then it's the decision not to flag that is being overturned, assuming the offside is ultimately given.
