VAR Discussion Thread

[Allnightlong]

Var generally ruins active, contact sports.

Cricket, great, doesnt take long.
Tennis, matter of seconds.

Rugby it works better but again it takes away the fun of a try being scored and can take an utter age as they dissect a try

Cricket have their own problems with tech as seen in the ashes. But mostly runs pretty well.
Shame we can’t have the rugby league offside tech….if he looks onside he is!

The 5cm rule applies when semi- automated offside is working. It was not working last night for this instance, and so the 5cm rule was not invoked.

This isn’t correct. The tolerance level was introduced at the start of the ‘21-‘22 season. The ‘advantage’ of the old system, which was used last night, is there is a visual indication when the tolerance level is being used. The graphic produces just one line, instead of the two we saw last night.

SAOT has incorporated the tolerance level. But there’s no clue when they show their ‘cartoon’ graphic whether it has or hasn’t come into play.

Thank you for correcting me. It is obviously more complicated than I thought.

CORRUPT OFFICIALS!

The 5cm margin of error rule didn't apply last night because the semi automated system was down and Stupid Attwell had to do it manually. If only I was joking but sadly not

The blue line which was the defensive line clearly was drawn on Pope. The red line is where Haaland’s foot is.

This is my take though, the decision isn’t ridiculous because of Haaland’s position - he was quite clearly stood offside, and it’s not as close as a lot of others I’ve seen, his entire foot is beyond Pope and therefore offside.

It’s ridiculous because the defender is never in a million years stopping that from going in. It’s flashed past him from a yard away. Haaland could be in another post code and it would make no difference.

Pope wasn't the last defender though in this instance. It was Thiaw

The daylight rule is up for review by fifa currently.

There has never ever been a daylight rule. Something Andy Grey came out with aa fact but was never in the laws

 

[richardtheref]

I wasn't aware of this 5cm tolerance rule until now.
What is it exactly and does it work in favour of the attacker?
Was it used for Newcastle's second goal against us in the league game when the lines drawn seemed to indicate offside?

That's the 1st time anyone had heard of it!!!

It really is quite simple, if you're actually offside as per wirtz then officially you're onside.
If you're actually onside as per haaland then you're actually offside.
I don't know how easy it could be.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I've watched the eight minute highlights and I've come to the conclusion that Erling was interfering with play by deliberately allowing himself to be fouled by the Magpie defender! I suspect this will be the gist of the phone call Howie Redshirt makes to Pep.

Yeah, it's gotta be easy so that Kavanagh 'n Dimwell can understand it.

The SAOS was not down last night. It was because it was so congested between the players it could not work as it should

I don’t doubt what you say but that is ludicrous. Apply a tolerance to what is in theory (or sold to us as) the more accurate system, but not to the less accurate system. You really couldn’t make it up

I wish somebody had explained it this clearly to me before. Thank you

That's ok but the offside law has a habit of being rewritten during the HT break.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

That's ok but the offside law has a habit of being rewritten during the HT break.

and mid-game too

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Got to feel for the linos though. They get a split second to have to watch when the ball was played and look across to check for offside. Those clowns atwell and cavanagh took six bleeding minutes last night and still got it wrong.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Yes which is why they drew the line on Pope. The VAR draws the defensive line from the second to last defender - which on this occasion was Pope.

Have we had an apology yet, I won't hold my breath:-)

Yes, I was confusing myself. Shouldn't reply to comments when tired after 4am start at work

Where have you seen that it wasn't down ?
Certainly the bbc are reporting it was.

I ask because again it highlights how they con us. Two different reasons, it was broken/it was too congested.
This adds fuel to the conspiracy fires,there is no official statement, fuck the fans we can con them every time.
