None of these are relevant in the case where Grealish doesnt get the ball first (which he mistakenly thought was the case). VAR can’t go back and give City a free kick.
Hooper could have let play continue, and VAR could have gone back and seen if the goal should stand had Grealish scored.
It was incompetence through and through.
Nope, there is nothing in that incident that would allow VAR to intervene. They can’t overturn a free kick (or lack thereof) or advantage. VAR is literally irrelevant to this specific case, no matter what decision Hooper makes
Why are you not addressing the issue that even City is up in arms about?
Grealish was through on goal. Had he let play continue, and Grealish didn’t score, then there’s no reason for VAR to intervene. No harm, no foul.
Had Grealish scored, then VAR could intervene and see whether play should have been stopped to begin with and whether the goal stands.
This is the crux of the issue, and what should have happened if Hooper was competent.
