What’s this “tolerance” bollocks? Making it up as they go along.

Here's how you show the transition/transparency between live action and 3D render...

"Seems" to work well. That is the problem. It looks nice and is relatively quick, but how do we know it's accurate? Who knows how it actually works? And I don't mean FPS, the number of data points, the frequency of data and other PR guff. I mean how do they actually determine an off-side? A nice picture doesn't mean anything to me unless I know how it's created.

It's a good point. The fact that the Premier League wouldn't let micro chips be put into the ball is shady as because that lets the powers that be know when the ball has been kicked, which is pretty important in deeming if a player is offside or not.

Football isn't a serious sport any more. VAR has turned it into Tiddlywinks. (Sorry Tiddlywinks fans, that was a bit harsh on your respectable sport) @BlueHammer85

It's fucking blatant this week.

That's three games VAR decisions by match officials have manipulated results.
