But yeah, if the ref has ran up to look at the footage but not bothered waiting for the angle which clearly shows the touch then what's the point? It becomes no better than just going with his view on the pitch...
Maybe - but then he did get a touch on the ball. Now if he'd got a stronger touch and knocked the ball miles away and THEN Griezmann went down there'd be no debate - everyone would be saying fantastic tackle! If it's in the process of the same tackle I don't think you can penalise the defender.
But then that's just my opinion but I think the point is that it's not really unambiguous enough to use the VAR to overrule the on field judgement.
