The ref, having got a simple 'complete' message, had no reason to change anything, and thus confirmed the on pitch decision [offside].
Its called "Human Error".
I dont know why some people think VAR is somehow magically exempt from occasional errors.
When humans are involved, human error will always happen.
The point of VAR is it corrects more errors than it makes.

Not a mindless rant, at the time of TS and myself posting those facts weren't publicised and weren't by any stretch a plausible reason for it happening. For them to have messed it up in the way they did is almost unbelievable, almost like they hadn't had enough sleep or something
