According to the guy, he should only raise his flag (and did) after conferring with the ref that someone was stood offside, he couldn’t make the distinction that Silva was interfering, only that he was offside. Ref thought he was (knowing VAR would check either way). In all, it was ‘good process’ and VAR worked exactly as intended.Ok thanks. It still doesn't all add up. Surely the lino should have raised his flag, after all he can only see from his angle. Then he should have verbally told the ref he couldn't see if Silva was interfering.. At no stage, within normal parameters, did either the ref or lino indicate that the on-field decision was to disallow it.
VAR check all goals & I can only presume the linesman didn't flag because he wasn't offside before Stones header & probably communicated to Kavanagh about the so-called interference. Have VAR & the officials cocked up similar to dippers v Spurs by sending Kavanagh to the screen instead of just confirming that there was a VAR check after the goal & then confirming it once they had cleared Bernardo being offside.That's what I thought. If you watch it, the lino doesn't raise the flag. In fact he switches the flag from his left to right hand and uses his left hand to point to the centre circle. He was also visible when Pep was celebrating and was then looking towards the Wolves dug out, but that's a good 20 seconds after the goal was scored. At no stage does the ref blow or indicate that the goal shouldn't stand, but neither does he point to the centre circle. I actually think this is the perfect case for the audio to be made public because the assumption is the on-field decision was no goal and I'm not convinced it was. It's almost like they were looking for a reason to disallow it, but every goal is checked anyway. As it is, they just look incompetent.
Thanks again. I wonder why it took so long to confer then.According to the guy, he should only raise his flag (and did) after conferring with the ref that someone was stood offside, he couldn’t make the distinction that Silva was interfering, only that he was offside.

ahh, the glorious days pre VAR.
That had fuck all to do with no VAR.
That was GPC's team getting penalties every week for fuck all.
It became a standing joke.
GPC’s wouldn’t have got away with all them penalties had we had VAR, that’s the point.
Week in, week out getting ‘corrupt’ penalty decisions - why would anyone want to go back to that ?
So are people off the “VAR is against us” train now?
ahh, the glorious days pre VAR.
One game lol,
“Virgin on twitter”, stopped reading there.It has improved, but I come to that conclusion from my own eyes, not what some virgin on twitter has tallied up. When it was first introduced we was battered with it, Spurs in the CL and league not long after. Goals given like Spurs in the CL where they rewrite the rules afterwards towards handballs etc. We didn't ever get the rub of the green. I think now it is fairly even from my perspective, we still get clangers like the Rashford offside but get other bits in our favour. Like our pen finally at OT last year. It isn't against us, it certainly isn't for us either.

It was blatant
You are proper weird with this aren't you.
Genuine question - are you happy Man Utd no longer get farcical penalty decisions there way on a weekly basis as someone else mentioned like they did prior VAR ? Simple Yes or No.
The point is without VAR the decisions would have been allowed to stand, imagine the outrage and outcry when Stones winner got ruled out ? Would be massive cries of corruption.
VAR is far from perfect, will never get decisions 100% correct but as can tell this season it is very much needed
Put it to the fans and see what they say.GPC’s wouldn’t have got away with all them penalties had we had VAR, that’s the point.
