Many laws of the game need to have view of "the spirit" of the law

Many years ago the GK picking up the ball when it was passed back to him was outlawed
At first every time the GK picked the ball up when it came back to him from a teammate was punished Then the reason for the law, cut out time wasting, was taken into account and it is to this day virtually redundant
I'm sure that offside was introduced to prevent "goal hanging" and for nearly a century linesmen did a great job in flagging yes, there were mistakes but most were small fractions of a foot or so. The only ones I believe that VAR should be involved in is the clear and obvious ones, the Spurs goal v City a number of seasons ago and one LFC scored in the title run in for example
VAR is now being used to laboratory measure the position of a player and it was not what offside was introduced for, it is ruling out good goals, and the Kane one the other night would have stood if a lino made the decision, as much as I enjoy the Spuds suffering I hate what they have done to the game with this idiot interpretation to suit VAR

Can you imagine the shit storm that would erupt if they only overruled some vague “clear and obvious” mistake?

The second one is left alone that was a narrower call than one that’s previously been ruled out, the internet would explode.
 
The premier league should should just admit they are putting sports entertainment over sporting integrity.

Some of the shit in the rags game yesterday was laughable.

If refs are being told to officiate for entertainment over the actual rules I might not get so cranky about it.

I had it on but wasn’t paying total attention most of the time. Can’t remember seeing anything the slightest bit controversial though. What specifically did you find laughable out of interest?

it is quite easy to fix if you fix the the laws surrorunding it

offside - any attaick player whos body fully ahead of a defending one in the defenders half _ not a shpulder, or a toe or half a body no stupid lines.

What difference would that make? ....you'd just have the same stupid lines to see if their full body was ahead, or their shoulder or toe wasn't ahead lol

Just seen the Haaland offside goal again and it honestly looks like the ball has cleared Kev's foot when the lines were drawn.

Freeze the video when the lines are shown and look at where the ball is
When I did this, because of the position of the camera, which is behind KDB, it looks like the ball has already travelled a foot/foot and a half. It really isn't clear
I wonder if they brought the video back a frame Haaland would be onside!

Their semi-automated system should take care of that with their 10 synchronised cameras all over the pitch, to determine not just the movement of the players but the movement of the ball as well.

At the moment, as you say, the frame the ball leaves the foot is a human judgment from a single camera where the ball can be directly behind the player. It's all well and good saying from the frame shown that he is in front or not, but we have no way of judging the frame.

Just have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they do it fairly, I suppose.
 
They promised that VAR would eliminate the errors
Now we have to wait 3 minutes for the errors

On the offside decisions, football shouldn't be played under laboratory conditions a mm measurement wasnt what offside was for. Let the lino decide and if the have missed a clear and obvious one, that can be seen without any measurement, freeze frame or slow motion then fine
 
Been thinking, i cant ever recall someone scoring against city and VAR overturning it Since its inception. Can anyone prove me wrong
 
If Dermot and Sue Smith says correct decisions then correct they where ok!
