Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
That Arsenal game was so poor. They barely threatened West Ham's goal at all and looked vulnerable as anything on the counter. I guess Arsenal won. But I keep hearing a lot of "Arsenal are heading in the right direction" talk and I'm not really seeing that at all.

Liverpool's nervousness is getting fun to watch. The Atheltico game is going to be huge.

Crucial point for Brighton at Wolves sees them edge 2 points clear of the relegation places and it's significant in Wolves no Champions League ambitions.

I can't sleep so I'm going to watch Mourinho's continuing efforts to rot Tottenham out from the inside.

VAR in La Liga is something special. Barca receives a penalty after VAR review - obvious handball. So no problem at all... Except the fact that the situation comes after obvious offside. I wonder who has to watch for these things.
Of course a foul at the edge of the penalty area of Barca is not even reviewed, but we are used to these things, so whatever.

Sometimes I wonder why are they still using VAR... Unless of course this is their idea of "using" VAR.

From what you wrote, I'm not really sure where VAR was applied wrongly.

You should probably explain a bit more in detail, how this application was conflicting the rules regarding VAR.

The penalty comes after an offside in the same play... what is unclear about it ?

There are 4 reviewable situations:
a) goals - was there a rule violation by the scoring team leading to the goal
b) penalties - was there a foul inside the box yes/no
c) potential red card incidents
d) mistaken identity

And that offside falls under neither of them.
a) It would only be reviewable if it was a goal (so not fouling inside the box and just letting them walk the ball into the goal would have worked here...)
b) only applies to fouls inside the box, not the build up
c+d) are irrelevant

So from everything you said so far, I still don't see the issue.

That is 100% bull crap. You can't call a penalty, if the play should be dead at the that point.
If the system is applied the way you describe, quite honestly, we are better off without it.

They limited from the beginning the amount of reviewable situations because people complained that VAR would stop too often the game like in other sports. So they opted for only 4 situations.

I know that only these 4 situations are reviewed.
The problem I see(again, if the system is applied the way mahrgell, described, which I think is not the case.) is that they are ignoring human logic and the rules of the game while blindly following the VAR directives.

I feel like you don't realize that they had to make the cut somewhere for VAR to remain within reasonable boundaries. No matter where you make that cut, there is always going to be that odd case where you have a 50/50 decision.

So unless I misunderstand you, this is wrong, an offside in the direct buildup to the penalty could be reviewed because it is part of the situation/direct buildup.
However in this particular situation there is no offside. Vidal is passively offside during the freekick and then the attempted clearance that goes to him creates a new situation.

Of course he is offside. He is offside and the ball is passed towards him, eventually he plays with the ball after rebound from the defense. The same rule applies when a ball is shot at the goal and a player in offside at the time of the shot plays with the ball after rebound from the GK, goal post or whatever.

No a rebound from a save/goalpost is treated differently than a clearance from a defender. It's the way passive offside has been interpreted for years, Vidal doesn't actively participate in the play from an offside position until the clearance and the clearance creates a new situation in play. Thus no offside, blame the rule/the interpretation of it, not the referee/VAR for getting it exactly as he is supposed to.

Wow did not expect that game to go like that with our young midfield without any experience nor spine you could say but boy did they put Everton to the sword. Now we are 2 points off 3rd and bringing Lesta back into the race for top 4.

LOL if bruno fernandes knew how to hit a header he could probably have a goal and an assist by now.

Strange that that United goal did not need VAR review. Without a replay it seem Martial was a little bit ahead...maybe from the replay it was clear.

Yeah that pretty much sums up my understanding of the situation aswell. Once a new passage of play is in place thats not a reviewable event anymore.
