Yes but on reviewing the footage the first offence, the penalty, would have been seen ...... penalty.
...as in Rugby Union - the replay very often shows another infringement that wasn't originally identified. I really don't see why football can't just follow what RU do - the groundwork has been done, let's not reinvent the wheel.
Ok, but how far back do you go? What if there was a foul before the ball reached the box, would that be counted? There has to be a line drawn somewhere, in this case the ref wanted to know if a player was offside for the goal, he wasn’t asking about reviewing anything else as he didn’t see any other infringement during live play.
I agree St Charles

However it was a dead ball situation that need not go back in these circumstances, the "double" push happened seconds before the ball hit the back off the net,
Your right a line has to be drawn, but something that happened in the same picture frame is pretty damning and from that a penalty should surely have been awarded
