Ditto
I think it's unfair to compare different parts of the players involved. Just use the feet.
Looks fine on mine. Best I've seen on Amazon actually.
FT: Saints 1 - 1 Spurs. Spurs should have had their goal allowed by bloody hell they had more than enough chances to score a bundle.
Other scores. Palace 3-0 Norwich. Watford 1 - 4 West Ham
Leicester v Liverpool at 8pm
Norwich 10 pts, Newcastle 11pts. We were never that bad as far as points gained at the halfway point of the season were we?
It's not VAR. It's the offside rule. It has to be changed.
Thing that confuses me is that they draw lines and try to make it an exact science but they can't possibly know the very specific moment the ball was struck can they? 100th of a second earlier or later and maybe his sleeve is onside.
Personally I'd rather if they have to draw lines and bring out the magnifying glass, they just give the advantage to the attacking team.
Can't see how you can tell from that camera angle anyway. Miles off from looking down the line
Why isn't the line parallel with the pitch grassy line?
A similar situation tonight, Foden’s goal given though.
The thing is for me is that it was about being level and the attacker was always supposed to get the advantage or at least the benefit of the doubt. And then there's the whole clear and obvious thing. For an attacker's feet to be level and his shoulder or hand or shirt sleeve to be deemed in front just seems like taking it to extremes. If you can't look at a replay without drawing several lines and decide whether or not a player is offside then he shouldn't be offside. It goes the other way too. Give some power back to the linesman.
Completely with you. I don't like it, although pundits, fans, football officials etc were calling for it quite vociferously and officials were getting battered over the tiniest of mistakes. Maybe if people hadn't been so reactionary and saw the game for what it is then we would not have this technology in place. It's as much as a safety net for officials as it is an indicator for the officials.
By the letter of the law, Kane is offside, the officials have done their job, and it seems that's what plenty of supporters wanted when things didn't go their way.
I preferred the old rules, I preferred mistakes by players and officials, you win some, you lose some.
Absolutely. Goal line technology was fine, but I was against var all along. It's improved, it seems we were getting this every week at one point, but it's fixing a problem that wasn't really there.
If pundits had analysed a game instead of taking the easy way out and talked about the ref, we wouldn't be here.
The thing that gets me about pundits, ex players etc is that they've played the game, they know how these things work, they even out, and they also know that it's excuse making. They would be drilled from an early age to know that they shouldn't give a referee or an opponent the opportunity to get one over on them, if they get themselves in a shit position then it's their fault, not the officials. They're high end professionals, they know the score.
