That Connolly of Brighton is good. We should buy him.

These are the decisions that VAR should find easiest to clear up: inside, outside; onside, offside. Right, wrong; yes, no; black, white.
Yet as we that is not always the case.

And there is room for confusion to arise.
In the champions league linesman are instructed to keep their flags down on marginal offside calls and allow play to continue. If a goal is scored, VAR will check it anyway.

Keeping the flag down avoids the awkward scenario of a linesman giving an offside, the referee stopping play, thus ending the attacking team's chance to score, only to find out that the player was onside after all.

In the Premier League, it will be slightly different. It is not the linesmen who have to keep their flags down, but the referees who are told to refrain from blowing their whistle until the attack is over.

Its the first time I've seen a ref not blow his whistle when the linesman has flagged on an attack so far this season.

So what they are saying is that if a team attacks and there is a close offside call is not to blow the whistle. So if a team goes down one wing and is slightly offside but not stopped they may not end up with a shot on goal out of the play but able to recycle the ball maybe back to a fullback and switch play to the other side and score from the other wing and they may not look at that original offside call because it was a different phase of play???

I'm sure it happened on sunday, the ref didn't blow up for Leicester's second goal after the linesman put his flag up.
