Haaland's disallowed goal

[halfcenturyup]

The ball has a chip inside which is recording position even more frequently than the cameras.

I imagine it's fairly easy to work out when the ball is hit, given that there will be a change in speed/direction. The AI will be filling in the gaps where parts of the body can't be seen by any cameras, but I suspect, given the number of cameras, and the number of body points they're recording, this will be pretty predictable.

The chip in the ball is for FIFA. UEFA only use the cameras and recognition software. But yes, FIFA's should be even better if millimetre offsides is what we want.

Let's see how it works in the WC.

I didn't know that - seems a bit odd, but I guess they have their reasons.

Millimetre offsides is probably not what we want - Ideally we want some kind of cool but perfect assistant, who will get the flag right every time, but who has an inbuilt sense of justice, and knows when there really was no advantage, and a goal should stand. And then, no lines so we just trust them.

But if we're going to have lines, then we may as well have the right ones.

The ball being hit isn't instantaneous, during the length of time the ball is hit for a player could be both onside then offside, that is why the Sterling at West Ham offside, and any micro-marginal one since has been ridiculous and open to interpretation and manipulation.

True - but then if a computer is making the decision, it is not going to make that decision based on the colour of the kit. If we're going marginal, then I'd hope it's taken from when the ball leaves the foot to give the benefit to the attacker.

What wrong decision? Foul, no attempt to play the ball, denial of goalscoring opportunity. Stonewall pen, stonewall red card.

That might be a red in your book not in mine. Used to be called a shoulder charge.

Only ever legal if the ball was within playing distance, so a foul in any era.

And if not that, it would have been ruled out for someone breathing in the vicinity of a Fulham player.

I can't help but feel that whenever VAR is checking one of our goals, and it's taking an inordinate amount of time, like the Haarland offside, they'll find a reason somewhere along the play from our goal line to the ball crossing the oppo goal line.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I was flabbergasted he gave the penalty, he'd given us nothing all the rest of the game.

It's what we paid good money for - a contract is a contract!

Where is the ball?

first time ive seen that picture, if you take the edge of the area with a piece of paper then move it at the same angle then that is on side ,that doesn't seem like a straight angle to me, might be my eyes though :)
