       Agreed. I'm assuming Oliver was going to award the penalty
       anyway had there been no flag which is why he didn't look at the
       screen as per the protocol as I understand it? He did look as if
       he was about to point to the spot.
       Additionally thought he gave a fantastic display of calm,
       controlled and authoritative body language and communication,
       superbly managed.

       Absolutely. Incidentally all the FIFA referees apart from
       Kavanagh are out of commission from 27 Jan to Feb 1 in Portugal
       doing a VAR course ahead of the CL introduction of the
       technology.

       Possibly will count most of the Hungarian FIFA refs out of the
       1st day back from the winter break then, which will cause a bit
       of a headache for Mr Puhl.  Berke will have travelled back from
       the introductory course 6 days before but the other 5 only
       travel back the day before so it could be interesting to see who
       gets those 1st games. One of the huge Budapest derby matches as
       well in that match day, Ferencváros v Honvéd, I'd describe it as
       the equivalent of the North London derby & it tends to be a very
       difficult game to put it politely. There's also Videoton v
       Felcsút, which although is technically not a derby is played as
       if it were one, it's normally a very fiesty match to put it
       mildly & the last time they played it all kicked off in the
       technical area at the end of the game between both benches &
       sets of players.  4O got pushed, one of the AARs was pushed
       twice, Felcsút's manager was pushed to the floor, and it carried
       on down the tunnel and in the dressing room area!

       Looks offside to me.  AR seems to be about 2/3 feet ahead of the
       last defender. I wasn't watching so he may well have been in
       line originally if the defenders then moved upfield a bit,
       leaving him slightly ahead of them.

       Oh dear. I'm with QuoCob. If they don't have an "along the line"
       camera angle and it is a tight call then surely the AR's
       decision should stand assuming the AR is not significantly out
       of position.

       No time added on for the final substitution whihc happened
       during the 3 added minutes - despite Eriksen taking some time to
       leave the pitch.

       The UEFA course is not for all FIFA refs (from the list on
       Law5blog only Kassai is on there). It is for those referees who
       have been preselected to be involved in the knock out games,
       either as referees or VAR. I think Oliver, Taylor and Pawson
       will get games in the middle, as well as VAR, with Atwell and
       Tierney used as VAR.
       Kavanagh is on the new refs course at same time

       In that twitter picture, apart from being a wrong angle, where
       is the ball?  Is that the exact moment the ball was played?
       I see Clattenburg thinks the right decision was reached but
       opines that the AR should keep their flag down for tight
       offsides like that, knowing that if anything develops VAR will
       look at it anyway.  Believing it was onside, he also points out
       that without VAR, Oliver would have accepted the flag and the
       wrong decision reached.

       Offside.
       Harry Kane is leaning forward therefore his head is offside. At
       the time they were fascinated on position of feet which was
       wrong.

       I’ve see about 4 or 5 angles of this now. I think personally it
       is offside and the linesman made a very brave but correct
       decision despite being a yard ahead of play or so. With offsides
       why is VAR not looking at the side on view or the view the
       linesman has? That initial replay is wrong.
       What’s the point of having the technology if it’s not going to
       be used properly??

       Not having seen the game or the highlights, can I ask a couple
       of questions:
       What did the AR do having put his flag up - did he stand with
       the flag raised or run along the line to follow play?
       Why did Michael Oliver not blow for the offside before the
       penalty incident arose?
       I suspect a factor here is we don't know what was said over the
       comms between Oliver and the AR at the time.
       Maybe there was an acknowledgement that it was marginal and to
       wait to see how play developed, aware that it would go to VAR if
       necessary.

       Clear offside so what picture were var using?  So the only thing
       var had to get right they get wrong AND did not follow protocol
       as Michael did not look at the monitor. If we are going to have
       consistency then var use must be consistent also . What gets me
       is people think this was a good example of var where infact it
       was a shambles .
