Offside judgement (Laporte v Wolves)

[CatMan]

Just a couple of things. An attacker is completely unmarked on the penalty spot, a cross is heading straight for him so the defender deliberately handles the ball to stop it getting to him, what then? An attacker beats his defender inside the penalty area and is about to roll the ball to his teammate who has a tap in so the defender chops him down before he gets the pass away, what then?

Penalty goal, and on both instances the fouling player is dismissed for the red card offence of serious foul play.

I don't think VAR should look at it for more than 15 seconds.

If it's clearly offside they should see that from the first look - if they can't then call it level, advantage attacker.

Anything else it is long enough to decide it's clear and obvious and refer it to the referee to check on the pitch side monitor.

VAR should be there to assist the onfield officials not replace them.

100% agree mate. If it’s taking lines and 3 people 5 minutes then it’s not clear and obvious.

The refs should be left to control the game

Or you could just award a penalty ;)
