Shelvey VAR goal this week Fascinating decision

[chris lee]

But Carroll who flicked it on was not Offside, that is what the VAR checked, the rule is simple was Carroll in a offside position when the ball was played up to him 'no' he then flicks it on to Shelvey who as you also point out was also on-side. no contention no drama.

The issue is that the players and linesman THOUGHT he might have come from an offside position, and stopped playing, that is just there stupid mistake always play to the whistle!
