Not sure what you’re getting at but that penalty is clear as day. If he hasn’t been booked for diving before, he certainly shouldn’t be for that.
Have a look at the penalty as well. Has Kane ever been booked for diving before?
What you actually mean is look what team has committed the most offences spotted by VAR, not ‘lost against VAR’https://www.espn.co.uk/football/eng...sions-have-affected-every-premier-league-club
Look who has lost the most decisions against VAR this season!!!!
Yeh, something like that! We’d of got away with it if it wasn’t for the pesky VARWhat you actually mean is look what team has committed the most offences spotted by VAR, not ‘lost against VAR’
The issue with offside is not (directly) the small margin, but the fact that whoever is adjusting the lines could make the exact same frame look onside/offside/dead-level. When I saw the Norwich game today, the lines looked indistinguishable and I originally thought I saw the defending line playing Pukki on, then they adjust a tiny amount and he's off. Attempting to be precise to the mm is worthless if the operator can choose a number of different pixels that all constitute the shoulder, for example.I'm not sure what the alternatives are though. Offside is a black and white decision, and if the VAR cameras showed that a player was 5mm offside and the goal was given the defending the would then be complaining. At the moment it is at least consistent even if a bit infuriating.
Ultimately it is very much a case of you reap what you sow. Players, managers, pundits, supporters, etc, have bemoaned wrong refereeing decisions for years. Now they are complaining about VAR decisions, but had they accepted the original refereeing decisions we might not be in the situation that we are now. I have zero sympathy.
I was at the Brighton match.I hate it
Norwich fans were vociferous with their anti-VAR songs this evening. The Broadcasters are having a hard time silencing it from many games.
Does anyone know how VAR is being received around the world? I'm not referring to countries in which football or soccer is a minority sport, as I can understand why those cultures would be suited to it. The EPL was always likely to be a strong acid test, regardless of implementation
Are the SPL likely to give VAR the elbow for next season?

Pretty much this, and I think this is what the “you’re offside or you’re not” brigade appear to miss.The issue with offside is not (directly) the small margin, but the fact that whoever is adjusting the lines could make the exact same frame look onside/offside/dead-level.

OS should be changed to feet because of this IMO. When you’re talking mm it’s almost impossible to figure out where a shoulder/armpit begins from a camera 50+ yards away. That’s without taking into account the exact frame the ball was struck.
Are players really gaining an advantage by having their upper body in an offside position? I’d say they don’t.
Not saying it fixes everything but it’ll certainly make it easier.
