VAR - 2020/21

[Colin Bells Boots]

Here's a detailed expert analysis of the technical flaws of VAR from a camera operator. In fact it's worse than I thought. Apparently because of the relative movement of players and camera frame speeds the margin of error is up to 38cms. So none of these tight calls are correct. They should make allowances for the frame speed. The way VAR is being used is creating "fake football."

Why are we not surprised .

Mike Riley fucking football to aid corruption .

Allowances at work we call uncertainty oh measurement
In simple terms temperature reading of 6 degrees could be 5.7 or 6.3 as the uncertainty of the thermometer is +/- 0.3 degrees
In var it should be related to the film speed and how fast a Professional athelete can cover a distance between frames.
The scene in the school classroom when dash (incredibles)is too fast for the video camera is a cartoon example

Our players should invest in some 'grass' green boots - there are no laws (at present) stopping a player wearing boots the same colour as the grass and therefore it would be very hard to draw a line making the player's toe offside.

Offside should be judged with the naked eye without resorting to drawing ridiculous thick coloured lines on arbitrary body parts. Then if it looks level, give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker. Just because somebody can draw lines on a picture does not mean they should.

The offside law was intended to stop goal hanging and was introduced in 1863. It is no longer fit for purpose if VAR will insist on drawing lines on pictures.

It's been amended loads of times since then, from memory I think it's generally been introduced at World Cups (clear gap became level .etc) and generally in order for MORE goals (benefit to the attacker), what we're seeing now is just shit. So many goals ruled out nowadays for being about 2 inches offside! How can an attacker be deemed to be trying to gain an advantage by being an inch offside or for starting his run 1/1000 of a second too soon?

Or, as in the case of Aguero vs spurs in the CL, be offside by a heel when he was heading back towards his own half

Var has gone too far. It has become a monster that is sucking the sheer joy out of being a football fan for the match goers anyway. Clear offsides, clear penalties missed and sly elbows etcetera missed. Not five minutes trying to disallow a goal by millimetres. The monster is in the room.now though we're never getting rid of it.

how many inches should they allow a player to be offside ?
