Real Madrid match fixed

It's almost as if they can choose which frame to freeze it at depending on whether they want it to count or not.

But if they're only going to overrule obvious mistakes rather than marginal ones, then that's a good thing. Let's see if they still follow that rule when we're the subject of a tight call.

VAR in a nutshell...

But that's the point. The defender in the left back position appears to have moved back in the VAR version compared to the original action where he was NOT playing Ramos onside.

oh ok..i didnt see the two comparrisons.....hsa anyone got a side by side video of it...I didnt see the original game or highlights.

For that zoom in you don't need to. They are saying the defenders foot is the blue line. His white boot clearly isn't at the blue line.

If they flip it and say Ramos is the blue line-clearly offside(check the other pic posted).

So they have tried to ensure this goal was given and it's exposed them.

The blue line does not look like it touches the white boot. It looks like the blue line has been drawn to show that this is not offside. The position of the blue line looks arbitrary to me. It could easily have been drawn in a different position.

What is the thickness of the lines? Thicker lines could show it offside. It's a load of bollocks.

yesterday morning UEFA made a statement that VAR would look for only clear and obvious offside decisions

Have they really said this ?

If it means tight offside won't be given (I hope) its a good move, and gives the striker the benefit of the doubt hopefully, but my suspicion is the flag will just go up, and they won't overturn decisions (making it worse).

Bruges had an equally tight one given to them by VAR for their first goal.

Yep, that first pass that sent the player through who crossed it looked more offside to me.

Reading through thread and I am unsure what the main assertion is...

Are many observers claiming that VAR manipulated the image they used to justify the onside call, moving the defender in the frozen frame so he is *just* playing him onside (which is most definitely possible to do convincingly, by the way, especially with the green background of a pitch)?

Or is it more a matter of selectively choosing the frame to be used to determine offside?

Or some other dubious thing entirely?

I've always thought this line bollocks was a completely arbitary method and resembles something a 5 yr old has scribbled across the screen.What has our game come to with this rubbish?
Good grief.
