It would have gone in anyway because Mignolet have given up on it.
With the new technology about to take over we need to know how much of a player needs to be offside for him to be called offside. Last night half of Barry's body was off. What if it had just been his arm, or part of one leg?
It needs putting in black and white to avoid any confusion.

I felt the VAR was wrong on that one. It was said a while back that there had to be some "daylight' between the players to be given. Half your torso should not be classed as offside.
They said in the aftermath that the keeper was being impeded too but what I saw was Mignolet pushing Barry in the back get the VAR...penalty to us...
I don't think you can say Barry wasn't interfering for that goal, just would like to know what is going to be called offside in the future. I'd say all the player has to be off. Just so long as we know so it is universal.
Be good to see those little tugs like the one which cost us the penalty disappear as well. The dive was theatrical just to get the refs attention but the tug did happen and could have been costly.
In all honesty Barry was offside, it is any part of the body that can score a goal, plus he did take a swipe at the ball so offside, just that bloody annoying time wasting waiting for someone the other side of the world watching a TV to make a decision when we were in the driving seat.
VAR ref was Andre Marriner the villa fan,who gave Chelsea that non penalty
VAR was used against us to great effect. Every effort was made to punish us at every opportunity.
We all want a fair game so let’s hope the system analyses all the big clubs as well with such enthusiasm and does not become a tool to legitimatise the bias officials often show to the big clubs.
Mr Marriner has previous with us remember
I believe the FA appologised for the Chelsea debacle and said he was a late choice because of illness or something like that...why then do they let the same ref adjudicate from afar?
One thing that my son has picked up on is that when VAR has been used the 'smaller' clubs do not get a look in...he noticed this when Fleetwood played Leicester...it was Leicester that got all the VAR....so come on FA get it right.
