That's because unlike in rugby league we can't hear the conversation. One for the Regulator to insist on.

Yes.
"It's not clear if Beckles did manage to get a touch on the ball, but the officials seemed to think he didn't, as the goal was awarded and the game subsequently overshadowed by the decision."
It happens.
It wasn’t her fault, the guidance tells her to keep the flag down until there is no goal scoring opportunity
Yeah but a village idiot could see it was flicked on.
And let’s not forget how some teams are treated with no VAR recourse!!

They don't seem very consistent on the flag down guidance? Even in the same game, you sometimes get one liner flagging as soon as the ball goes over half way, the other watching the ball go in the net.
Referee on var informing the referee it's a red in the Bournemouth rags game! Just listen to it he is talking like a bias fan of the rags and why he got involved when web has said he shouldn't off!
Guess what this bloke on var was born in Stockport Manchester! Now why is he on var for a rag game!? You can think someone can be professional but when you following a club and you will have subliminal bias that is a known fact!

He was a mile offside and I've seen flags go up sooner for less

My understanding was that if there is an immediate goal scoring opportunity and it’s a tight offside then the flag stays down until that opportunity has gone. But what we are seeing is balls going down the channels to a winger with no immediate opportunity unless of course beating a full back, cutting inside the covering centre back and chipping the keeper from 25 yards is considered as one. Didn’t we suffer injuries the other season, maybe Laporte, from similar incidents where the player was two yards offside but play continued

Yes we did. At least one from what I remember. Pep was livid. Iv seen other teams get the same as well.
I find it strange that there isn't a media campaign to stop this farce. They would love this sort of story but they stay relatively quiet on the subject. But it needs to be changed asap
Where there is VAR the guidance is basically to let that phase of play continue.
Yes it seems obvious when viewing through a TV screen that a player if offside but when you are at pitch level and trying to view matters in real time and with players on the move its incredibly difficult.
The reasoning behind letting the game play on is that VAR is the backstop if the asst gets it wrong which does happen of course.
Personally I would rid of the whole VAR thing and although the officials on field do make mistakes the game would be far better to accept their mistakes as opposed to the nonsense that is VAR

The reason it was introduced was there were instances where the flag went up and proved to be wrong. The guidance was a response to that
Bollocks mate if the lino cant see thats offside they have no business officiating at sunday league level never mind the pl
Looks clear cut on the freeze frame but when a forward is on the run and the defender is stepping up it’s a fraction of a second. It’s always been the problem with VAR and offside- easy to disallow a goal for wrongly calling onside, impossible to rectify an incorrect call of offside which has stopped play
even on the run the lino should be well up with play to see that.

Not in real time, I expect. Split second decision, was it flicked on, whose head was it? These things have always happened. Have you refereed a game? You may be less critical if you have.
And as for the other image, for every major balls-up on offside in the five years, say, before VAR (and I am talking major balls-ups) I can probably point to one from the five years of VAR that has had an equally unsatisfactory outcome.
If I could be arsed :)
