Interesting as only last week we had a penalty given against us in the CL, whereby this rule of being offside didn't count. I think it was Peter Walton, the BT ref pundit for that game, who confirmed VAR were right to award the penalty kick.
Now if two recently retired refs and the current VAR system can't agree on something as basic as what the rules are, then what chance is there of there being a level playing field
Walton on Spurs penalty :
Analyst Peter Walton told BT Sport after the penalty was taken, while watching replays of the free-kick: “You can see here Kane is in an offside position which is missed by the officials. The offence that came first was the offside and therefore the penalty should not have been given.”
A complete contradiction to what he said about the penalty awarded against us.
