Mental health issues should be treated as seriously as physical issues and injuries. If you’re not fit to play, you shouldn’t play. Happy to see Burnley take a positive stance on this.

This. I don’t see how two hands pushing Gabriel down by the back of his neck doesn’t impede him significantly. It’s a total farce.

It’s so tough because the whole point of VAR in relation to offsides is to be able to determine if something is offside or it isn’t, which in 99%+ of cases you can see. There are these occasions where something is technically offside, like with a sliver of someone’s boot or a tiny part of their shoulder, but it doesn’t feel like it’s really in the spirit of the rule. In those cases though you can’t say that you’ll allow it because offside is meant to be a black or white decision, and if you let these minuscule infringements go you then need to decide where the line is again.
