After watching the Sheffield United game last night I was left wondering why didn’t the linesman just keep his flag down, then if it was offside then it would get disallowed anyway? In fact what is the point of having a linesman?

Play to the whistle arguement doesn't wash with me, the flag going up is, for all intents and purposes, the whistle.
I don't particularly like VAR.Mon the Hibs.

VAR worked. They checked the goal and he was onside.
The problem was with the linesman, not VAR.

The flag going up is not, and never has been, the same as the whistle going. There have been many instances of a ref over-ruling a linesman's flag to let play go on, and so the striker was right to keep going. If the ref whistles, you stop, otherwise you play on.

It's natural instinct to see the flag go up and stop, in that situation the flag is, in the real world, the whistle
I'm a Newcastle fan so there's no ulterior motive; it's a bizarre situation that can see an official signal for a decision that can impact the game, the game continues then VAR decides the decision signalled was wrong.
The whole offside rule needs looked at now that VAR is being used to excess. When you have goals being disallowed because of armpits being a centimetre offside then it's clear the rules aren't fit for purpose.

The fault here isn't with VAR, there's every chance that,as the ref has also played on, the goal would have stood regardless of VAR if the ref was confident that he had a better view than the linesman.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Always play to the whistle.
