2 h. ago Awoniyi’s injury should lead to a rethink over flawed offside protocol | Jacob Steinberg

Assistant referees need more scope to use their common sense as opposed to simply relying on VARIt was an accident waiting to happen. Anyone with an ounce of common sense could see the potential for the International Football Association Board’s offside protocols in the era of VAR to cause serious injury. Needless collisions are inexcusable. It should not have been allowed to reach the point where we are wondering whether Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi being placed in an induced coma will act as a red flag for the authorities.Injuries happen.
