It's more annoying that a couple of seasons ago, Martinelli had a goal ruled offside against Brighton because the officials weren't sure where to draw the line accurately. On-field decision was goal, but was chalked off after a review.

If they couldn't find conclusive evidence for the offside on this one, why give it?

Because the benefit of the doubt is supposed to go with the attacker, as in "its a goal unless you can find conclusive/undisputable reasoning not to allow it".

I dunno which goal you're referring to, but if its like you said, it sounds more like they fucked up there than with this decision.
