On this call there are a couple of things which I don't understand:
Offside is starting when the ball gets launched. Nobody is challenging it in this situation which is insane to me. 1 videosequence back or forth changes the entire situation in this context
If you look at the image in reality, kean gets the ball somewhere in midfield but there are a ton of players behind him. How was he even possible in offside???
As you can all clearly see, offside technology has improved significantly.
there is a subatomic microscopic particle from his heel which is offside.
I'll say it time and again, it should be the players heads that are compared, not any other body part. The head position indicates momentum and direction. Arms, legs, dicks, and all other body parts can flail as they wish, but the player's head indicates where they are going and their momentum.
Anyone who has issue with 1mm offsides being given offside has an issue with the offside rule. Not with the technology
With VAR being so exact by the pixel. I think rule needs to change for a least a foot or something.
This is insane. Players play the line all the time and this much hairsplitting effectively stops that since there’s zero margin. There should be some flexibility
This is going to kill the game. The rules need to allow a 5% deviation.
Which one is Kean and which one is Cryptocom?
Very unlucky for Kean and Juve, but there’s no argument to be made here. Offside is offside.
love that when it comes to other fouls there has to be a clear and obvious error and for offsides they have to go down to the exact millimetre
This isn’t clear and obvious. Lol
That's just stupid
These calls are getting ridiculous.
🤦♂️
Watching this with my Juventini cousins who are pro-var and they are fuming lmao
i mean you can be pro var and also pro common fucking sense too right
The way I see it VAR can (and likely has) be used as a tool to allow more corruption into the sport, by giving people time to decide whether to intervene or not, to officiate in whichever way, gives the outcome they want the highest likelihood to happen, I cannot be pro VAR for this reason alone.
Then you add in the fact goals are scored and people aren't celebrating, taking joy and excitement out of the sport cannot be a good thing.
Nah not really, often those two things are in direct conflict of each other.
Shameful
Im the dude in the green shirt in the audience, sup guys
I think I got lost, this isn't my college lecture?
I caught my wife in row 3 with her boyfriend when she was supposed to be out with her sister :(
This is not football anymore.
Thank God it was ruled off. How could the player possibly catch up to Kean after giving up such a head start? Thank you VAR for saving football once again.
Should we say he’s not offside because it’s a bit too close for you
Oh, look at the "massive advantage" 0.5mm Kean got from this position.
looks offsides
Long studs vs short studs
As long as the margin for error in the technology is within reason, works for me. I don't know if it can be calibrated to have a little leeway or whatever but it is what it is.
I'd rather live with the pointlessness of being offside by a cunt hair than have humans involved at all in objective matters.
If the technology is consistent and quick, I'll take it.
But let’s be honest, such offsides as this one from keene are also an anomaly. Usually they are never as tight as this. So if the technology get’s it right 99.8% of the time and the other 0.2% is a mistake like this, i have nothing against it. Still way better them the enaglish VAR lines or on field referees.
When the VAR output falls inside the uncertainty of the technology we can't consider the decision reliable! That what people are missing here. We still don't know the range of accuracy of VAR because they never disclosed it but I expect 5-10mm, not certainly 1mm
Offsides is the one thing that VAR consistently gets right, even this call. The problem isn't VAR, but the offside rule as it stands. Now that we this tech, the offside rule should probably be changed. I'm honestly not sure how it should be, but these mm offsides do feel against the spirit of the original rule
The real question is: how big is the VAR accuracy range. Can it even be that accurate up to 1mm?
The only thing that matters in these situations is the center of balance of the players and the part of the body which they use to control the inbound pass. But this, when both players are facing the opposite direction of the goal, is ridiculous.
I mean....... lol?
Idiotic. How do they even know they have the exact frame correct for when the pass was made?
pretty clear cut case, 100% offside and this is all in the intention of the rule /s
I like how it simulates the fans too lol
It's offside? Like it's like a millimeter off but offside is an offside it would be a wrong decision if it was given a goal
It is, 1 mm offside is still offside by the rules.
It’s more about the questionable accuracy from this computer rendered image and further more about how the frame to check the offside is decided.
What if they chose a frame too early or late, which could make the difference of being off- or onside in this case.
The original purpose of the offside rule is being completely dismantled.
