If the lino is flagging for the corner taker receiving ball, then firstly, he was not 100% sure
because if he was, he is directed to raise his flag immediately. If he thinks he's offside but
not sure, he keeps flag down til a goal is scored or the goal scoring phase opportunity ends.
The cameras show he is not any where close in line with the last man, TAA, when decision is
made.
So he's not 100% sure and he's not in correct position to make a correct call.
Anywhere else on pitch, if lino decision is correct but borderline, then VAR can apply, this season
the wider line for attacker. This option not available either.
Ive seen the highlights, and he's clearly onside, played on by TAA from the final touch.
Referees on a goal scored, immediately either check their watch, if goal line technology or immediately
look over to lino, if his flags raised, they immediately raise arm and call it offside, then await VAR.
Madley looked over and theres no offside flag raised, so he doesn't raise his arm for offside. He makes
a signal to the lino, then the flag is raised. Only then does he raise his arm for offside and awaits VAR.
The flag goes up to merely instigate VAR and then Dean can find a ball to strikers hand or other infringement
to disallow goal. In this instance its No valid VAR camera angles as its easiest one to disallow the goal.
Imagine Liverpool go up the other end and score and Lino flag goes up.VAR check it, it's marginally offside,
apply the thicker line, then say he's onside and Wolves are out.
The Lino should not have opportunity to merely raise his flag, knowing that at that end, VAR will not overule.
It's open to abuse and corruption.
