Armpit offsides?
I guess they can’t come out and say ‘bell end offsides’
His foot was offside

Are you sure? His foot looks clearly behind the line (and shoulder) of the defender's line for VAR. It's sterlings armpit/shoulder that's offside.
I've mentioned before, but when your at a stadium you will know if the goal stands within a few seconds, or normally at the same time as it is disallowed.Offside, super easy. The flag will be up. A foul, again you will see the ref clearly not give the goal. It really isn't comparable. On tv, sure. I'll put it this way, one of the most famous disallowed goals was Campbell vs Argentina in 1998. It took less than 4 seconds for the TV to announce that the goal was disallowed. While Campbell celebrated like he has scored the goal was actually never given.I don’t get this line of argument, goals have been chalked off since long before VAR got involved. It’s the way it’s being implemented that’s the issue, the time taken to overanalyse and the pretty clear incompetence (or worse, corruption) of the refs making the decisions at Stockley Park.
Clear and obvious errors should be able to be ruled on in less than a minute, anything else should be up to the match day referee.
"It was human error"
wait... so after costing a shit ton of money and patience, the FA have just basically admitted the single obvious flaw that was pointed out from day fucking one?
Well, i'm sure glad all that research went into the technology so we could basically have a remote-referee, with all the same flaws that the guy on the pitch has.
Mockery.

I thought the VAR refs were doing a handball check but Bournemouth just happened to score before the ball went out of play/the check was finished. Could be wrong though.Has it been confirmed that had Bournemouth not scored then the pen wouldn't have been given against them for handball?
Why was evertons winner chalked off? Timestamped
The ball doesn't have to touch someone for that person to be interfering with play.Are they saying Siggy was interfering with play? Because it doesn't look like it touched him.

We can argue all night about whether De Gea would've had a chance of saving it had Gylfi not been in the way (he probably wouldn't have), but according to the rulebook this was a correct call but in a bit of a grey area.
