This is basicaly saying if the refere thinks he has made a mistake but it is not a bad mistake, he shoud ignore it.

It goes against the VAR original principle of minimum impcat, maximum benefit. The impact is alrady there by VAR sending the referee to the screen. But instead of gaining some benefit out of it, the protocol prevents any benefit being gained. Doesnt make sense to me.

I think that is why the practical is not the same as the technical.

That might be ok in some application (non-football). But when you are setting the protocol that has to be followed with consistancy and is scrutinised at every turn, if it is not practical, it shoudnt go into technical.

I don’t disagree at all. I think the practical has evolved beyond the expectations of the original drafting, but no one has worried about making the language fit the reality. IFAB has a long history of that—6 seconds perhaps being the most blatant example.

I’ll agree with most of that except direction of play was taking him wider.

Except that the wording of the law was changed in 2017, specifically to say that it doesn't matter if the player is heading diagonally away from goal at the time of the foul, so long as the overall direction of travel is towards the goal.

Or, as the explanatory note to the change put it:

Use of ‘overall movement’ clarifies that if, in the final stage, the attacker moves diagonally to go past a goalkeeper/defender an obvious goal-scorin opportunity can still exist.

Personally I don't think Sarr should get anything, on the basis he's rolled over holding his leg when he hasn't actually been touched lol

Yes. And as I recall, IFAB considered that a clarification, as it was never intended that it had to be. Direct line to the goal.
