It’s because refs and linesmen are human and make errors when making split-second decisions using only the naked eye and their judgement, so allowing it to play out enables the use of VAR to confirm or reverse their decision. The rozzers dont have to make such judgement; they use calibrated...

This is the bit I don’t get. It’s not as if allowing a game of football to carry on means that the subsequent passage of play is any more dangerous than the rest of that game of football. Some people are blaming the officiating for the injury in the same way that you might criticise a rugby...

It’s not though, is it? Driving at 100 is clearly more dangerous than driving at 70. Someone being a couple of inches offside doesn’t make the subsequent passage of play any more dangerous than the other 89 minutes of football.
