NBC now saying Spuds goal should have counted. Unbelievable. Will not give Leicester any credit

It probably should have.

If you don't see any difference between those two situations, you've completely abandoned any pretense of impartiality.

Agreed there is a big difference between the 2 goals with Perez and Son's positions. However Sterlings was offside against West Ham for the same reason as the spurs goal. 

 

Personally, the linesman missed both and both goals should have stood.

Of course there was a difference. But both were 'goals' given by the officials.

 

Therefore they both should have stood.

That's a fundamental philosophical disagreement about whether it's worth getting the call right in the end, even if you see goals taken off the board.  I get the appeal of "refs' mistakes are part of the game" but I prefer the correct call be made, as imperfect as VAR is.

So, we are discussing two VAR decisions, rather than two referee decisions?

 

It all adds up to the same result in the end!

 

So what is the point of VAR?

 

It's plainly a waste of time and is ripping the soul from football. Both VAR decisions took an age, players were celebrating, fans were celebrating, and then it rips your heart out. At least referee decisions are instant.
