I think he was offside too tbf.Here's a perfect example of how VAR should be used and would work.
Wolves v Man City and the Wolves player handballs the ball into the net. No-one sees it, no the ref, linesman or the players. VAR would have quickly corrected that error.
Good. As long as it is used properly.To be used next season in the premier league.
Don't understand the decision making with VAR sometimes.
Carling Cup tonight, Man City v Burton. Burton defender clearly kicks Man City's Jesus inside the penalty area.
Goes to VAR and nothing given.
Absolute joke of a decision...Ridiculous use of VAR tonight.
Offside by a coat of paint at best.
As Shearer said on the Beeb. That's not what it's supposed to be therefore.
About rightThis is a tweet from Danny Baker (#prodnose) and I totally agree. VAR ruins games and the spectacle of football.
Offside, like hand ball, is now purely a television construct. TV used to cover games. A guest at a live event. Now it dominates, demands & bullies. Fuck off TV. Game on.

I have no problem with VAR as I have said many times. But it has to be used correctly.
If that was a crystal clear offside last night, then fine , but it wasn't. Not by a long chalk.
The problem is once you start using the technology you have to get the decision right but it is all about opinion. Using technology last night meant a perfectly good goal (to the naked eye) was disallowed. Once VAR was bought in, it was chalked off because (again rightly in my opinion) the derby player was a millimetre or two offside. But take the action forward or back by a frame or two the decision might be different. You cannot go on to blame officials for using technology to get a decision correct by the letter of the law.

Ball watching.if you look at the linesman in that still, he has no idea where Milner is
Ball watching.
Offsides is one thing that I think VAR could be used easily for.
Not easily.
As we all know to be certain about offside you need to be directly in line so you'd need every centimetre of the touchline to have a camera.
You just need to draw a line across from the Defenders back heel. Every game on TV manages it so I don't see why it would be hard.
Yeah put what if the defender is leaning and his head is further back
I think the offside rule needs to be changed so it’s based on a players torso like how they do in athletics
Google parallax angles. Comes up in ice hockey, they have cameras on the goal line and above but you can have a puck that clearly looks in on TV but from directly above or directly in line hasn't crossed the goal line.Then you draw the line from his head.
