Really? Two stand out moments for me were the goal and KS save.A game remembered for a VAR hairline offside and not a worldie winner! Well done SP, enjoy your decision!
Yes. We've been talking about this since VAR was introduced.VAR uses cameras than run at 50 frames per second, with one picture taken every 0.02 seconds.
When an offside decision is being deliberated, VAR must choose the frame which proves with certainty that the ball has been touched. If Frame A shows the boot not touching the ball, then VAR must select the next one in which the ball has definitely been touched.
But the actual first point of contact will be somewhere between the frames. And in that time, a player can move from onside to offside.
This means there is a margin for error, and it varies depending on the speed of the attackers and defenders.
Based on the fastest speed recorded in the Premier League last season - 21.75mph (35kmh) - that margin could be as big as 38.8cm.
So, if a player is found to be offside by less than the margin, the VAR can’t be sure whether they were offside or not at the moment the ball was played.
Reports claim that lawmakers are already considering reviewing VAR’s offside system.
Clearly, something needs to be done.
Only if the attacker and defender are both running in opposite directions at 21.75mph. If the attacker is running at that speed and the defender is stationary, the maximum margin of error is 19.4cm. If both are moving in the same direction (which is usually the case) that decreases even more. And most players can't run at that speed, decreasing the margin of error even further.that margin could be as big as 38.8cm.
Agree, so you accept nearly 200mm of error and VAR has decided it by much, much less than that!!! Whatever happened to benefit of the doubt and 99% success rate of decisions?Only if the attacker and defender are both running in opposite directions at 21.75mph.

Is less of a margin of error than we were getting with assistant referees on the sideline.Agree, so you accept nearly 200mm of error and VAR has decided it by much, much less than that!!! Whatever happened to benefit of the doubt and 99% success rate of decisions?
Do please explain how you could do things better.Agree, so you accept nearly 200mm of error and VAR has decided it by much, much less than that!!! Whatever happened to benefit of the doubt and 99% success rate of decisions?
