    I don’t think it is conclusive the orient player got a touch. Certainly not from the positions of the officials so they have to give benefit of the doubt 
    That’s very generous. I think it’s a shocking miss from the linesman.

    Commentary team mentioning that the playoff final will have VAR.
    Which is stupid, we haven't had VAR at this level all season, so why not use it in the semi if you're using it in the final? Or better yet just don't use it at all

    Without doubt the worst off side decision I have ever seen. If that was against us in such an important game NJ would be the only one to self combust

    Well, it IS conclusive. He DID get a touch.

    You can only assume the lino hasn't seen it.

    To be fair to the ref and lino, that must’ve been very difficult to spot in real time. And looking at the angle the lino had, I don’t think he could have seen the change of the path of the ball.
    Unfortunate for Stockport.

    That goal was a fantastic advert for VAR

    Still find it mad that a club with Clare, REG, DJ and Pratley in it are in the playoffs
    REG I think is a reasonably average player, Clare is also ok when used in his normal position. DJ is shite but not in the team.

    Maybe for the ref, but It's clear from the side view so linesman had to have seen the path of ball changed before it reached Kelman.

    Isn’t that the whole point of their headsets? Worked well in Sheffield united game. Ref should see the flick and the Lino should then confirm he’s offside

    No Pratley in the 18. Clare and REG start for Orient with DJ on the bench.
    He's the linesman instead

    Also REG has been promoted before I believe.

    Based on this, I'd much rather player Orient if we get past Wycombe. Think our style is a bad match up for Orient. 

    Will be painfully tight vs Stockport.

    Would Bauer’s goal have stood if we’d had VAR in 2019?

    It's a surprise but they look so sharp as a team so must be very well coached, motivated and clear in the execution of their roles.

    Would Rufus' goal v Sunderland?

    Would Maradona's Hand of God goal?

    Would Geoff Hurst's 1966 goal?

    All academic questions.

    Early kick-off and a first leg. Atmosphere in the first leg will never be as good as the second. 

    It's literally night and day.

    Just thinking the jury is still out on whether VAR helps or hinders…

    Well yeah, but I think it was just one of those cases where in real time neither of them could be sure of the flick on. It’s an error, but you can see how it happened.
    It’s obviously the sort of thing VAR would address, but as we’ve seen, VAR comes with loads of bullshit too.

    IMO yeah. 

    If you mean the slight pull back then i see it as no different when that tall forward for millwall scored a late goal against us and was all over our full back. Still would of given it as a goal.
