If you had scrolled up 2 posts you would have seen Glenda's Legs kindly posted the FIFA instructions:Another fudge up by VAR, the swiss goal should have been disallowed.
On-Field Review (for interpretation)
Goals
- foul committed by attacking player
So it wasn't a VAR issue at all.
The ref can choose whether to review it pitch-side or not, and he chose not to review it.
It is his choice. He saw the small push and thought it was fine.
Obviously a push can range from almost no force, to a gentle tap, to a gentle push, a small push, a firm push, a shove, a massive bulldoze... it is all open to the INTERPRETATION of the ref, that is the whole point.
I think you just don't get it and you're burying your head in the sand, fingers in the ears.
The ref has a choice whether to review it, and then if he does, he can INTERPRET it himself, as it is not a factual decision.
