Not only that but there wouldnt even be any controversy in the goal being allowed - VAR wouldn’t even check it for being too far back/in a different phase of play

Agree wholeheartedly  mate. I wouldn't mind if this was the case. I mean it also infuriates  me when you have rogers perfect goal last season and they deny the goal on a stupid technicality. If your saying the balls gone off for a throw you even blow dont look back at something  that happened a minute earlier. Why is var getting involved for throw ons anyway?

Its really killing the game gettjng involved in everything

One of the issues with VAR is that you give somebody a job to do so they are itching to be involved even when there is no need.

And clear and obvious is not something that takes 4 minutes. Clear and obvious is a 5 second thing.

19 seconds is the longest VAR has ever gone back to disallow a goal apparently. An attack that started the opposite end of the pitch too. Another terrible decision.

From a couple of years ago, but showing why it isn’t obviously out…

That’s three games we’ve lost that have hinged on poor refereeing decisions, including Everton and Arsenal.

It’d be easier to take if decisions were going both ways and we were benefiting too - you win some, you lose some.

We just lose some.

Horrendous, just how far can you go back with a delayed decision, you have to look at the principle of that decision if you can go back to when the ball was in there half seconds/minutes earlier, where do you stop.

That was a ridiculous incident today. I do think the ball was out, but that was a mistake which could happen anytime, similar to when a team scores from a corner which shouldn’t have been. I can’t quite understand how they will explain their way out of this one.
