VAR - 2020/21

[flook]

Last season they said that VAR were not 100% sure when the ball left the foot/head etc to start the pass leading to offside. Has that been sorted for this season ?
Every still picture I see of an offside the ball is blurred and egg shape so impossible to tell when the pass is started. Roll the film on a millie second offside roll it bank a millie second onside. Do VAR now know when the ball starts the pass or is it still a guess ?

VAR can never be 100% on offside decisions as close as this and the Raz one (and no doubt many others). There is a slice of time taken which is dependent upon the technology, so if you have tech operating at 50 frames per second, there are 50 slices of time within that second. If you then have tech operating at 100fps, it's obvious that the 50fps tech has missed 50 slices of time etc etc.

So the best VAR can ever be is 99.9% accurate. On that basis it gets 1 in 1000 of these silly close calls wrong. The dippers one yesterday may be that 1, which makes me very happy

Yeah, but the good thing is that the system fucked 'em over! Couldn't have happened to a 'nicer' set of guys, a 'nicer' club, and a 'nicer' manager! Just can't get my head round the idea that if 'niceness' just oozes out of Anfield why did the whole fuckin' world rejoice when VAR gave 'Hendo' the Edward II treatment!

So going by that I guess we wont get screwed by VAR for the next 5000 years than , as our chances of them being wrong have been used up already ;)

TBH I hadn't realised the Dips had sold VAR during the transfer window!

Perhaps it’s Evertons turn to win a Premier league.

Liverpool to seek clarity on why Mane was offside. Incoming petition me thinks. My god if we didn’t know any better the next thing will be that they will want the result overturned in their favour

How come one decision makes national news when our constant requests to old mother Riley hardly caused a ripple?

Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer? ;-)

Very unusual and totally inexplicable
