During the Qatar vs. Switzerland match in the San Francisco Bay Area, a brief technical outage prevented the onside animation graphic from being generated ahead of the penalty awarded to Switzerland in the 14th minute. The issue was quickly resolved. The workflow of the VAR was not affected by this issue and followed the normal procedure in checking the on-field decision. The lines used by the VAR to check the position of the relevant players did not show the attacking player to be in an offside position in either of the two situations immediately before the penalty decision.

🤓 PL and EFL tribunals are struggling with the P&S and PSR rules - what they say, what they are meant to say and what they mean. And there is no answer. Consider this section from Burnley v Everton. Everton say that until 30 June passes no PSR Calculation can be made so no breach occurs. The IC say this is wrong and inconsistent with the PSR regime in the rules. But consider it the other way with, say, Chelsea in 2022/23. According to this rationale, Chelsea played their entire 22/23 season in a breach position but cured it only (and technically) on 29 June with the hotel sales to itself. This is undoubtedly also, to quote the IC in B v E "at variance with the PSR regime". However, the IC can't really be saying that all of the intra-season breaches including those creating sporting advantage are cleansed by a hotel sale. This makes no practical sense nor any purposive sense. So what is the correct position? I don't think anyone knows.
