The Bamford decision was most probably the worst decision made by VAR this season how was it a clear and obvious error??

Also slowing down video always makes the challenges look worse , once again the officials just get one look in real time. They spent so much time with their X and y graph tools trying to determine whether Watkins was offside , they missed the foul !

If used properly then it would help but not how they employ it at the moment !!
The Bamford one was the correct decision, unfortunately. That's why it's a farce. Cameras aren't good enough for the offside calls though, it's impossible to know the exact frame the ball left the foot. It can't be used correctly with the technology we have. Why is the ref looking at the screen to decide? Surely its either clear and obvious and should get overturned, or it isn't. They're using it to referee the game, and the on field ref has been completely undermined.
