Ahh rubbish, he blows the whistle at the point Grealish is through on goal, its horrendously poor officiating and you know full well if it happened against us, you'd be up in arms

Poor decision but he still had a lot to do

I think you can just put the decision down to human error, and those opposed to VAR have said they can live with the odd gaffe from a ref as it evens out over the season.

The reaction of the big babies on the pitch was more horrendous than the genuine mistake by the ref.

Also the view you get on TV (essentially a Birds Eye view) is totally different to the one you get on the ground in amongst it. The game looks different in the upper compared with the main stand for example. Passing angles, positioning and depth perception are seemingly and markedly different.
I think it would help to have the refs view to show what he saw to highlight the difference between the two. It was a poor call undoubtedly but I think we could try and understand it better.
