For offside, I’d like to see the assistant referee give it, let play continue and allow the equivalent of Umpire’s Call in the VAR review if the technology thinks it’s close. So hopefully getting rid of the offside-by-a-toenail.
Jesus! I thought we stopped treating football fans as animals at the end of the 80s.
In terms of interestingness, it goes Rugby < VAR < football
The rule says nothing about applying pressure. Ramsey might have been unlucky that he didn't get to the ball half a second earlier but the decision was ultimately correct. The bigger issue was the ref deciding not to use VAR for the Ollie/Evans incident.

My understanding was that VAR looks at penalty box, goal and red card incidents regardless of any instruction from on the field.

My understanding was that VAR looks at penalty box, goal and red card incidents regardless of any instruction from on the field. The ref made the decision when he blew his whistle. At that point VAR couldn't do anything. Had the onfield ref let it go, he could've checked VAR afterwards. That was the mistake.

Didn't the final wording in the official rules show that the decision wasn't ultimately correct?
That one hand could pin the ball to a surface except if the 'keeper had made a save/ parried the ball. So rather as Schmeichel did by saving the ball parrying it adn then falling down woth one hand on the ball. 'Except' if the keeper has made a save or parried the ball.
