Isn't the "something" that they know it's not perfect, but it's the best they can do, and they're getting paid for it, and it was requested, so.
-
Or they know they can show any close decision to be on or off side depending on the frames chosen.
-
The something is that if they aren't seen to be making every effort to get decisions correct, the betting companies will stop advertising with them so much. VAR exists for gamblers and fantasy football players, not football fans.
-
Maybe. Why insist that offside is a matter of fact, when it isn't because:
- You can't measure when the ball actually leaves the foot.
- You can't accurately determine a 3d relative position, from a 2d picture not in line.
That leads to a margin of error that must exist. It's not acknowledged, there is no allowance for it, and it's not subsequently scrutinised. No corrective actions have been taken in the cases where clear errors have been made, and they continue to be made. They don't even let people in the ground see what they are doing.
You may observe this happens in a data driven world where sufficient computing power exists to link your spending, recreation, and health records, and program you in how you walk around a supermarket.
Smells funny if you even vaguely understand the process. For those who might, they've fucked up all the rules ( interpretation of the laws) to give them the wiggle room for plausible deniability. There's nothing in there that makes the game better, simpler, fairer, or keeps it flowing. Which is the pretend objective. If that really is what they are trying to achieve, it's a complete failure on every level.

I gather offside VAR is going to be fully automated from next season, so it might help with removing the human element of when exactly the camera is frozen for drawing the lines. It'll still be shit though.
-
They've found a use for AI then. Trouble is that much of the popular "AI" is based on the answer most likely to be accepted, which is going to be "Man U player therefore onside"
-
Boro v Leeds is fun, 3-2 Leeds at half time. Leeds' third was scored by a player who was a full yard offside, guess the lino must be a Sunderland fan.
Lewis O'Brien doesn't look like a Premier League footballer.
-
Leicester far too quick and too strong for this Southampton side. No way they'll lose this tonight...
That better?
-
Worked well I see...
-
I see that all we need to do to be Billion spend-ski is to kick Cole Palmer off the pitch. They are absolutely pants without him.
Calling Ryan Yates....
Chicago: Tactician.
-
6 minutes for an Everton penalty to be overturned for an offside. No idea if it was as I'm not watching but - HA HA.
-
Should have taken about 6 seconds, it was blatant. No need for lines on the pitch.
-
I meant 6 minutes into the game, not a 6 minute VAR review!
-
Normally I enjoy watching Liverpool struggle but just this once I'm happy to see them win.
-
Correction: Liverpool look absolutely fucking shite. Comical defense straight out of the Nottingham Forest Big Book Of Calamities to let Everton go 1-0 up.
