LONDON - The Video Assistant Referee should only overturn on-field decisions when there has been a"clear and obvious" error, according to one of football's leading international rules officials.A particular source of concern has revolved around offside calls.

Players and managers have also questioned whether the system should not be used to reverse an on-field decision that appears correct to the naked eye, a view that received support on Monday from the general secretary of the International Football Association Board - the sport's ultimate rule-making body.

"Clear and obvious still remains - it's an important principle," Brud said in comments reported by the British media."If you spend minutes trying to identify whether it is offside or not, then it's not clear and obvious and the original decision should stand," he added. Wolves eventually lost 1-0 at Anfield and Coady told the BBC afterwards:"It's horrible for me, it's tough to take.
