       The people implementing and operating var in the english game
       are spoiling football.
       I thought the var was supposed to help the on field referee by
       seeing what he has missed and the assistant var
       Was there to adjudicate for offsides.
       In which case last night the avar would correctly see the villa
       player was offside when putting the ball in the net.
       What was the var ( additional referee ) looking at, he should
       have been checking for foul play.
       If it was deemed the west ham defender wasnt fouling the
       attacker prior to the ball being crossed then all
       Defenders are now allowed to hold attackers to prevent them
       scoring without committing a foul.
       If a penalty had been given, would the defender have been red
       carded for dogso?
       Before the cross was played you would say no, but the events
       that occurred proved it was.
       I guess w ham next opponents might feel hard done by if there
       had been a sending off?
       It seems nothing has been learnt from the van dijk incident in
       the liverpool derby, where eyes seem to be closed
       In the var dept apart from looking at the offside.
       One other side line, players will not remain on their feet but
       go to ground when fouled, unless referees give
       The fouls committed if they remain on their feet. Referees are
       their worst enemies here.
       ( sorry my pet hate and has been since the days before i hung up
       my whistle ).

       Can you with confidence, say it was definitely offside? I can’t

       It looked just offside on first viewing.
       Worth saying the added lines were to try and make him 'onside'.
       Calibration with first defender showed him offside, so they did
       it with second defender too.
       Ultimately, as I've said before, all PL clubs have signed up to
       this system and referees have to implement what the system tells
       them. You can't just have one referee suddenly deciding to
       ignore it.
       I agree there was a strong case for a penalty which didn't seem
       to be fully considered. I guess DOGSO couldn't really be
       justified because he wasn't in possession until the point at
       which he was offside.

       Not having seen this, do I take it that the alleged foul /
       holding was happening before the ball was played forward?
       Presumably if the offence only started after ball contact when
       passed, offside, if it was, occurred first and the penalty
       wouldn't be considered anyway.
       Or was it happening before and continued after the ball was
       played?
       Apologies if this is not relevant, but I've not seen the film
       clip.

       Another thought.  If the foul was inside the penalty area the
       VAR could (should) have intervened.  If it was outside (for
       example holding but released before the attacker was inside the
       area) the VAR couldn't get involved, which seems a bit of a
       nonsense.  What it really needs is some creative thinking from
       the officials after viewing this type of incident.  Along the
       lines of the VAR saying "it was offside but there was a foul by
       the defender.  Tell them you were playing advantage and go back
       for the free kick".

       My take on this was that it couldn't be deemed a clear an
       obvious error as at the time of the holding the ball was out on
       the wing.  I don't ever remember seeing a penalty given where
       the ball is that far away simply because the match officials
       can't possible see it as they aren't looking at it.  Potentially
       the assistant might be, but no assistant is going to flag for a
       penalty when the ball is on the wing.
       The only reason the holding was spotted by anyone was because of
       the VAR check, so it wouldn't seem right to be to give a penalty
       as that wasn't what they were looking for, and a penalty in that
       situation wouldn't be given in any other game.

       Surely that's why we have VAR? To spot things the officials
       can't see.
       THE PGMOL are completely losing credibility by trying to justify
       not giving what TV replays show to be clear fouls. Carragher and
       Neville ripped them to pieces on Monday night.
