I don't think I've ever seen Dermot Gallagher disagree with a referee. His opinion is completely worthless, it's like asking the editor of the Daily Express to provide a nuanced viewpoint on the merits, or otherwise, of Brexit.

My interpretation of what Gallagher said was because the lino has indicated he was offside once he had collected the ball and come back "onside" he would be active and the referee had no choice but to blow the whistle.  Of course just like at Palace if the initial decision was wrong that prevents VAR helping out.  He agreed that the linesman had made a glaring mistake but defended the ref because of the above

Massively improved performance -couldn't believe how good Ollie was, bringing others into the play.

To put it mildly, I didn't expect to see Aslhey play that well when he came on!
