Interesting thanks

I don't really understand the rationale though.

VAR is applied as a matter of fact to offside decisions (i.e. no clear and obvious error required).

There is a degree of subjectivity here as to whether Godfrey interfered with play, but I think if the linesman flagged for offside and the ref decided he wasn't interfering that would be clear and obvious enough for VAR to intervene.

Following that through, VAR should have looked at it and told the ref godfrey was offside, then asked him to look at the monitor for his view on whether he interfered.

It's pretty obvious the linesman missed the offside.

I know it doesn't matter to the result, but I think it's important that VAR operates fairly and consistently.

    - Yeah it has to be subjective with interfering though (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 13:29:10
      - Leaving it to on field only works if the ref has consciously made a decision (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 13:32:11
        
        I’d be seething like Jim if that had cost us! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 13:47:02

        And that Twitter thread there (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 13:53:19

- There’s an Everton player who looks offside (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 10:44:14
  - Number 22, he jumps for the ball but is beaten to it by Krul (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 10:49:11
    - Pretty sure he’s onside (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 10:54:09
      - Pause it with your space bar as the cross is kicked (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 10:55:52
        
        Just checked the motd one which has it (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 11:02:54
        
        Fair enough....on the extended highlights, the camera isn't in line (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 11:07:25
        
        7:20 here (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 11:12:16
        
        Ah hadn’t seen that angle - yes looks clearly offside ffs! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 11:17:49
        
        Yeah, I was just a bit confused as to why it wasn't checked (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 11:20:45
        
        Will investigate that (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 11:22:49
        
        I would guess that's the approach that's been applied? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 11:41:44
        
        Yeah I guess would have to go to the monitor (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 11:46:08
        
        I can't really see any basis for it not being given as offside tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 11:49:24
        
        Lucky it didn't cost us (NCFC) - Dog, Jan 17, 11:26:22
        
        Particularly as there were two Everton players very clearly offside (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 11:34:19
        
        And no player out of shot as all 11 there (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 11:40:44
        
        Yep. I can see how the lino missed it. He wouldn't have had a good view of the kick (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 11:42:55
    - If you pause the side view when the cross comes back in.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 10:53:41
      - Can’t tell tbh (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 11:06:53
    - There are 2 more offside, inc Richarlison, but they don't interfere in that phase (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 10:50:15
- Or is there a NCFC player out of shot somewhere? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 17, 10:34:05
