I am still trying to fathom out why the AR did not flag for the obvious offside leading up to the penalty.
Yet again there were a number of instances in games this weekend when offside was not flagged and teams won corners because of it. Why? Oh yes, the different interpretation of TLOG because VAR is in use and the phase of the game.
At all other levels below the PL, the offside would/should have been flagged and play halted.

Even at PL level the offside should still have been flagged, just in some circumstances a little delayed!

I'd like to hear more from PL about reason why game was suspended for so long in first half and what protocol is. If it was simply due to issues with VAR/GLT then I agree with posters saying they should just have continued without - or perhaps more likely with the alternative method of being in phone contact with Stockley Park instead. I could understand waiting a few minutes to try and resolve the issue but I think 30 minutes or so is unreasonable.

Proof, if ever it is needed, that technology is far more important than the actual game itself at the top level  ------oh ------and loads of money, of course.
How did we ever manage to have League football exist for 134 years without technology?

How was Gabriel booked? Surely it’s a red or it’s nothing. Could never have been a red for DOGSO I totally surely as Ramsdale had the ball the whole time.

I’m not sure it’s even a foul, Gabriel clearly looks at bamford and steps into him.

Then again VAR missed a blatantly obvious offside in the buildup to the Leeds penalty. Also, how Saliba wasn’t given his marching orders I don’t know.

How many times now, Tierney and Kavanagh it’s always those two.

Dermot Gallagher said on Ref Watch that the offside was not regarded as part of the APP for the first penalty so VAR couldn't go back that far and he considered Gabriel's actions to be petulant rather than violent so he felt yellow was correct.

The pundits seemed to agree with him.

I will leave it to others to give their views!

Also on RefWatch, Dermot said he was cautioned because his action was "petulant" as opposed to "violent".

It still begs the question as to why the offside wasn't flagged in the  first place. Had it been given the rest of the argument would have been null and void and VAR not even involved.
