VAR thread 2022/23

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

My post in the MOTD thread

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!

what about haaland being pushed to off side does that not count

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

Kane had a goal disallowed at the Etihad last season as Kulusevski was offside in the build up.

If Dermot and Sue Smith says correct decisions then correct they where ok!
