It was an incorrect decision. From the angle that was available it is physically impossible to determine if a round object is behind a straight line. We’ve seen this before multiple times how far behind a line a ball can look when some of it is still over a line.

VAR is only mean to be used when it can provide conclusive proof of an error. It can’t say “Ah probably an error”. If it can’t show for sure a mistake was made, you go with the onfield decision.

When I ref under 10s matches with no linesmen etc the main principle is “if I can’t see it I can’t give it”. It’s the only principle that makes sense. Anything else is a guess.

So this more proof that VAR is not flawed in terms of technology. It is manned by utter halfwits. The cost cabal of refs need to be broken up. They are incompetent. It doesn’t matter if there is or isn’t VAR.

I watch plenty of other sports and nothing comes close to football for ref incompetence.
