Yes, they are now all told not to flag unless 100% clear its offside. So he flagged despite this instruction (so to imagine he wouldnt flag previously is ludicrous), got it completely wrong and would have cost West Ham a perfectly good goal and a Victory

Why would they not have beaten Spurs? If the second is ruled out they're still 1 up. Anything can happen.West Ham wouldn’t have beaten Spurs last week if it wasn’t for VAR, a perfectly good goal that the lino incorrectly flagged. And we should scrap it and go back to this ?
For all the VAR controversies, for which there has been many. There is very little talk when there has been so many goals allowed/disallowed CORRECTLY.
The World Cup worked well with VAR because it was 64 games , the PL is having games on TV pretty much daily and with that there is always going to be heightened controversial decisions - problem is even when the correct decision have been given, so many still say ‘what a joke ‘’ ... for what ? All because they’ve done a quick check and got a correct decisions. I’d rather that than all the absolute bonkers decisions refs give without any help, watch a couple of lower league matches without VAR and you realise just how ridiculous some of the decisions are.
just my view of course

well. Yeh. We could have still won.
but spurs were well on top and dominated the remainder of the game.

To claim retrospectively that the result would've been different but for var is a bit of a stretch.

To me the issue with VAR is quite straight forward. VAR was brought in by demand because the refs and assistants kept making errors of judgement. We still have errors of judgement being made but its no surprise as we still have refs and assistants in charge.

Sure City had one disallowed at Leeds when the penalty rebounded straight to the taker, early 90s (Peter Reid?)
It was at Villa Park. Live on ITV‘s Big Match.

don't see why that's a stretch, Spurs were well on top and we had relatively few chances, had our goal been ruled out then we would unlikely have won the game.

It's a stretch because it's supposition. You could say that it may have made it harder to win but you most definitely cannot claim that without var you would've lost.don't see why that's a stretch, Spurs were well on top and we had relatively few chances, had our goal been ruled out then we would unlikely have won the game.
So you’re advocating an incorrect decision?Why would they not have beaten Spurs? If the second is ruled out they're still 1 up. Anything can happen.
While nothing is guaranteed, having watched the entire match it would have been very unlikely West Ham still win the match if the second goal would have been ruled out incorrectly. All of the momentum was with Spurs.
At the very least it was a game changing decision, an unfair one at that. Which in all likelihood effects the final result.

VAR upholds bad decisions too though. Can’t really have it both ways mateSo you’re advocating an incorrect decision?

They need to stop using shoulders for possible offside, should be measured by the head or the foot, whichever is nearer the goal.
Offside is any part of the body that can be used to score a goal. You can't just randomly exclude a body part from the law as soon as VAR rules on it.
I know but how many people score with a shoulder? You can pretty much make the line for the shoulder appear where you like.Offside is any part of the body that can be used to score a goal. You can't just randomly exclude a body part from the law as soon as VAR rules on it.
Basically said this in the match thread and had a few guys have a right go. Shaking my head.I know but how many people score with a shoulder? You can pretty much make the line for the shoulder appear where you like.
