Because emphasis has been made for line judges to hold their flags and allow VAR to correct the call or otherwise make sure the play ends before a call impacts an outcome. In this instance during play the dangerous play occurred. Then offsides was called. Oliver apparently let the offsides call negate a foul in the box. But must have missed the serious nature of the offense because he didn’t even reach for his pocket. Oliver never considered a dangerous play and VAR didn’t give him a chance to review it.
And don't get me started on the PL standard for serious foul play. It's almost as bad as La Liga's.
It's 2020 and that move was OK because offsides was called? As I heard one talking head say today, Pickford could have punched VVD in the face and not been called for anything, based on these rules.
That's VC, and VC can occur at any point (even before a match has started or after it has ended).
They should adjust the offside law if only to account for delayed offside calls. Like I said above, it wouldn't be a huge change.
