Reacting to Benfica’s goal against Rangers after being called offside at Ibrox on March 14, Ally McCoist has shared his thoughts.

Rafa Silva was onside because he was in his own half for the goal, even though he was ahead of the final Gers player.

The cost of not having a defender at the half-line for the corner fell on the Gers.

TNT Sports (March 14, 19:10) quoted talkSPORT pundit McCoist as saying, “I find it incredible the space Rangers are leaving at their own corners.”

It’s going to be close.

He remarked, having watched the video: “It seems like Rafael Silva handles it quite well. The run is precisely timed. With a beautiful cut across Diomande, he whips it back over himself.

“He positions himself for a much better shot, then takes it.”

Rangers suffer as a result of their ignorance.

Football VAR is essential because it guarantees accurate and fair officiating, lowering the possibility that bad calls may affect games’ results.

When there was doubt about offside in goals like the one Silva scored at Ibrox, VAR would have given a prompt and conclusive decision.

Silva appeared to be offside at first, but technology later examined the video and accurately identified that he was in his own half and onside.

This would have stopped an incorrect choice from being made that would have ultimately harmed the hosts.

The use of VAR improves the fairness of the game by reducing human error and guaranteeing that crucial decisions are made based on precise evaluations of the action.

The Gers should only take responsibility for their own bad handling of the matter; Philippe Clement would have been furious with his players.
