Decisions like that one tonight will ruin the whole process. It is supposed to overturn glaring errors, if it instead is used to over turn a marginal judgement call then get it in the sea.

Even worse, you seen the tightness of the offside call but apparently VAR looked at smalling handball in the first half from 2 angles and it wasn't conclusive, smalling hand is above his shoulder its a clear hand ball

you can have marginal decisions that are still obvious one way or the other, as long as the technology is accurate enough to make the call; the "offside line" that's superimposed on the images is about six inches wide to the scale of the players - so that's a six inch margin of error before you even start ! decisions that are so marginal that you simply cannot make a definitive call should obviously mean that you go with the original call on the pitch; yet again, lessons need to be taken from cricket, that shambles yesterday was just a farce but, with a bit of luck, might hasten the end of the whole shoddy scheme....

when they can come up with images that are as crystal clear for those used for horse racing, it might be worth revisiting, until then - forget it - no better than guesswork...

Its already turning into a farce, unless it is an obvious mistake decision should stay with the on field referee.Agree that was a penalty but it goes back to an opinion of what could be a "natural" position.
