As for the penalty, clear as day but....
Did VAR ignore it because he was offside in the first place? He looked offside, but nobody mentioned it.
One quick reply on reading your query that Armstrong was possibly offside: I have a video recording of the whole match and have run that incident, frame by frame from McTominay's touch/through pass - STUART ARMSTRONG WAS NOT OFFSIDE! ORBAN'S OUTSTRETCHED LEFT LEG DEFINITELY PLAYED HIM ONSIDE - IT WAS A PERFECT RUNNING MOVEMENT BY HIM TO GET GOAL SIDE OF THE DEFENDER - A DEFINITE PK AND CONTROVERSIALLY DENIED!! Also the "grab shirt" insinuation is a red herring IMO - he briefly grabbed the shirt as he was falling, Orban 100% the main offender with his knee into the back of Armstrong's leg to topple him.
