I'm more confused that the officials don't look at stuff like this and think, "We're going to look like a bunch of absolute twats if we don't give this," then they carry on anyway. What's in it for the VAR officials? Are they worried they'll embarrass the on field ref? Surely that can be explained away by, "The ref was unsighted, and we have the benefit of multiple camera angles, that's why we're here."
