Sergio's Offside, factually definitive or interpretive ?

[Delphinho]

how sure are we that we see the images that VAR people see? and not just the TV company images? or are they the same?

I watched the game on the TV, and when the ref left the pitch you could see that the ref was not shown the angle behind the goal, they just kept on replaying the same shite angle where you had no idea if it touched his arm or not

What is clear to me is that the decision was made very quickly, considering how close it is. Who knows if the VAR decision maker had a different angle to look at, or if he used the computer generated lines, but the lack of transparency is what pisses me off. It stinks!

i cant really tell from the twitter video if they froze it at the right time or not, it hits Bernardo's right leg yeah? well, if it's frozen too early it must be frozen about 10 cms away from his right leg? if so, i cant see Sergio getting back onside in that fraction of a second

Sergio was very marginally off, and running back for the sequence, so it is very possible he is *just* level if you move several frames forward in the video.

Are you saying the freeze frame is too late or too early?

Too early, the ball clearly couldn’t have hit and deflected off Bernardo at the time when the freeze frame is shown. The ball is between Bernardo and Eriksen, not Bernardo and Aguero so it’s impossible is to correct.

If you look at the ball, you could see that the picture shows the moment just before the ball touches Bernardo. Sergio was moving out of offside, and I`m 100% sure that if they had waited a tenth of a second or something, Sergio wasn`t offside. The frame is taken just too early, and UEFA probably knows that, but wanted to fuck us over like they did last year

It’s the fourth year running - Monaco, Barcelona, Liverpool and now Spurs.

The most important question is: If it was for the dippers last night, would the handball and the offside goal stand ?

what happened in Monaco and Barca? i remember the Liverpool decisions being suspect

 

[Jazzman]

If we were Spurs fans and the goal had been given against us, would we feel hard done by?

I don't think so to be honest. Not even the Spurs players appealed for offside. They also did not see it.

Probably because Sergio was *just* onside.

I think we all know the answer to that question (see last season for more information).
