Re: the bad VAR yesterday
Apologies if I haven’t seen this mentioned so far but I haven’t. Isn’t its job to overturn a clear and obvious error? So if the linesman hadn’t given the decision in the first place, it may have allowed the goal, as it’s not obvious that Todd is interfering or blocking Schmeichel. As I understand it, VAR is to adjudicate on decisions made, not the match action itself. The Lino flagged, he was in an offside position, he *could* be said to be impeding the keeper (even if he wasn’t), so the decision stands. Vice versa would also apply…
Which brings me to another point: we rarely get fringe decisions from referees. Penalty not given, over-zealous offside, yellow cards…
