You're right of course, Filo.  My post will remain nonsense until such a time as the FA get some principles for the good of the game and set about cleaning it up, which is almost certainly never.

Silva made physical contact with the 'keeper 3 seconds before the goal, and was in between Stones and the 'keeper when the ball left Stones' head.

Of course he was offside and affecting the play.

Terrible decision and, yet again, inappropriate intervention by VAR.

La Liga about to announce a Barca game in the States in December. Poor prem league had best hurry up or they'll not be the first and miss out on some revenue. Got to grasp every possible penny of revenue for the agents and players and the Saudi owners. Can't wait for it all to implode and all the armchair fans might have to go out at 3pm to watch footy

Only a matter of time before a League game is played outside the country.

Some rules are just ignored by refs, probably 75% of throw ins are foul throws, and the length of time the keeper holds on to the ball is another one

Agreed and teams even practice how to block runners and keepers at corners and free kicks.
Every corner sees fouls taking place, by both sides, but regularly the ref turns a blind eye to it all.

Didn’t the ref who was in charge of VAR advise the field ref to have a look at it?? The onfield Red went to the monitor reviewed and stuck to his original decision.

In any case isn’t VAR only to be used if it’s a clear and obvious error? I don’t believe it was. Subjective yes, but not an obvious error.

It was launched as an aide to eradicate clear and obvious errors but has gone way beyond that.
