       K A FRIEND - Brighton v Man City 
   DIR By: TheThingFromLewes

       Thoughts on the Brighton penalty?
       How far should VAR go back and the definite offside around 20
       seconds before Ederson cleaned out the Brighton player?
       Friend has been quick with the cards this evening, and a few
       awkward moments but nothing completely disastrous.

       Interesting one as to how far you go back for the offside, last
       season i think var would have flagged up the offside.
       I guess the answer lies in whether city had time to reset and
       does reset mean having chance to or playing the ball.
       As with many interpretations nowadays i have to say not sure i
       can answer and probably only the match officials or their bosses
       can.

       Didn’t city have a similar incident last season which resulted
       in a goal. So I suppose it’s swings and roundabouts. At least
       they’re being consistent

       It was offside.  A matter of fact, not interpretation.  If the
       player had scored would VAR have looked at the offside and ruled
       the goal out.

       Yes, but that’s not the point being discussed. VAR is not there
       to re-referee games. It is there to correct - for want of a
       better term - gross miscarriages of justice.
       There needs to be a point in a passage of play where innocuous
       or non-critical decisions are not part of any review. Where that
       line sits is a decent and reasonable debate, but its necessary
       existence is not.
       Once another team has possession and opportunity to play, that
       is a perfectly sensible point to ‘reset’ the return point of any
       VAR review.
       (Even if a team has sole possession, a number of passes in
       attack would also seem quite sensible. Decisions that have no
       impact in the scoring of a goal are irrelevant to the purposes
       of VAR).

       On the basis of that argument you would expect that a player
       running back from an offside position to collect the ball would
       have negated the offside decision as the defence would clearly
       be back in a reasonable position for the forthcoming play.  That
       not being the case, logically it  seems to me that unless the
       defending team actually play the ball between the offside
       position and the critical incident then the offside decision
       should stand.  Of course logic and the interpretation of the
       laws can be strange bedfellows.

       In all leagues below the elite PL, if the AR was doing his job
       correctly, the flag would have gone up and the offside given.
       Different Laws and interpretation at the top level and we wonder
       why there is a big shortage of officials in grassroots football.

       A typical Friend performance I felt. Dross, average, poor. Pick
       whatever one you want.
