While it may be that Hooper did not see the incident between Wood and Andersen clearly, but the linesman was alongside and had no problems seeing it, he just bottled it.

As for VAR I think Dave sums it up perfectly, it is being used primarily to spot offside offences but when it comes to the big calls there is clearly a lack of action from there.

It is time that match referees and VAR Referees should have to perform post match interviews and explain the logic, that is if there is any logic, behind their interpretation of the rules of the game.
