Right. Anyway, my point is that
if we are gonna move to the emerging consensus of only overturning clear and obvious mistakes, then assistant linos are gonna have to make an onfield call.
Although thinking about it more, I suppose you could stick with the current 'not-flagging' rule for marginal ones - then as soon as the ball goes in, the lino flags immediately that he *thinks* it was offside. Then VAR quickly checks that it wasn't obviously onside - if not, then goal ruled out.
You can imagine sit-u-a-tions there where the lino subsuquently flags, and then it turns out it was a 'draw a line' case. VAR would instead just back up the call and rule out the goal. Much to the annoyance of a lot of viewers.
Still better than where we are though, probably.
