This isn’t clear and obvious. Lol
As long as the margin for error in the technology is within reason, works for me. I don’t know if it can be calibrated to have a little leeway or whatever but it is what it is.
I’d rather live with the pointlessness of being offside by a cunt hair than have humans involved at all in objective matters.
If the technology is consistent and quick, I’ll take it.
But let’s be honest, such offsides as this one from keene are also an anomaly. Usually they are never as tight as this. So if the technology get’s it right 99.8% of the time and the other 0.2% is a mistake like this, i have nothing against it. Still way better them the enaglish VAR lines or on field referees.
When the VAR output falls inside the uncertainty of the technology we can’t consider the decision reliable! That what people are missing here. We still don’t know the range of accuracy of VAR because they never disclosed it but I expect 5-10mm, not certainly 1mm
Been saying this for a while, but the offsides line should be a shoulder-to-shoulder bar drawn from both players, and if there’s any overlap it should be onside.
Easily measurable, gives enough leeway and is drawn from center of gravity. It would eliminate garbage calls like this or where a foot brings a player offsides but gives no obvious advantage.
Calls like this are totally disingenuous and goes against the authenticity of the game, ESPECIALLY considering that both players were moving in the opposite direction of the goal…
Im the dude in the green shirt in the audience, sup guys
The only thing that matters in these situations is the center of balance of the players and the part of the body which they use to control the inbound pass. But this, when both players are facing the opposite direction of the goal, is ridiculous.
Oh, look at the “massive advantage” 0.5mm Kean got from this position.
