The week 9 installment is out.
Interesting (at least to me analysis) of a VAR OS reversal. In addition to saying pulling the goal out for OS with VAR was correct, also said the AR was correct to not flag it because of doubt. Essentially, PRO just officially said that the "correct" call in a game with VAR is different from in a game without VAR.
Also a nice explanation of why the referee team erred in awarding a PK for handling. Alas, they did not go on to say that it still wouldn't be a handling offense next year. (In fairness, that's beyond the scope, but I worry about a wild pendulum swing next year where too many referees conclude that any arm/ball contact is handling.)
