Plus we should be giving attackers the benefit of any doubt if decisions are marginal to promote a forward thinking approach

They always have the ability to use multiple camera views we just don't see it/ need to use very often. They say they are time stamped so exact same moment from another view.
It's crap anyway as we don't have the framerates to give a true decison when the decision is marginal
Also bin the pitchside screen.... VAR refs should either over-rule or have the OG call stand..... No 2nd bite for the onfield ref.
Interfering with play was great when it first came in, a few times a year a goal was disallowed because a winger near the corner flag was offside. That was crap.
Problem was when they started looking for reasons for a player not to be interfering when its obvious they are.
Also in La Liga this weekend
Former Liverpool man smashes VAR screen and Benitez goes on physics rant in LaLiga chaos
In case you’re wondering how Rafael Benitez is doing back in Spain, the answer is badly. The former Champions League-winning Liverpool manager returned home this summer with Celta Vigo, and it’s so…talksport.com
That's one club/example.
Like I said I watched el Classico and VAR was very minimally part of the game. Only really on incident that it didn't get involved in.
No way a big game like that in the prem passes without VAR centre stage.
This baffles me tbh..... I dunno what gear they're using but we can hit 300fps these days. Surely thar should get us close enough and avoid the blurred shit we see so much of the time.
The league itself rakes in billions...... Expense shouldn't be an issue.
The spirit of the rules they are writing seems to get lost so quickly..... Same with hardball.
In 4k you can get 300 FPS. In 1080 you can get over 900 FPS.
And 1080 Would be fine for VAR replays
You would need the same 100 meter sprint (10,000 mps) directly in line and when the ball is hit to be as exact as they say they are.
Semi automatic offsides are not the solution they say it is just because they can generate a graphic
Interfering was by design to lead to more goals imo.
Maybe good intentions but the result is nobody has a fucking clue what’s going on with handball now
Was talking interfering with play (offside). Hand ball is a shit show
Ridiculous.
It's almost like they try and look at everything to try and rule something out. Like every goal that's scored, even if it's not clear and obvious, its like they just try and find the smallest thing and ponder over it.
Yeah it’s not much clearer.
I think they should make off side 2 body parts with at least one being a whole foot.
I don't understand why he was demoted in the first place
He gave the penalty for Newcastle against Wolves - VAR checked it and THEY incorrectly went with his decision
Football is such a simple game, made complicated by people who know squat about how the game is played. It seems that every tweak introduced to make things clearer or fairer just makes things worse. No common sense in evidence, drives me nuts.
What we want to see is the ball in play, attacking football and goals, everything about the modern game seems to result in the complete opposite.
The way VAR is implemented is a joke, and refs have either become lazy or scared to make a decision.
Inconsistency is also a big problem, how can two refs be so different in their decision making?
However, it doesn't help that the game is littered with cheating players, who either deliberately go out to maim or roll around when they haven't been touched.

Whilst actively punishing attackers for diving/"simulation" (including using the available technology, retroactively, if necessary.)
Similar concept as:
Q: Why do big banks/big biz break laws/regulations?
A: Because the punishments are so moderate, that it doesn't make economic sense for them NOT to.
I'm sorry, but a red card AND a penalty for a world class defender making a successful defensive action is SO disproportionate to Sterling; maybe getting a yellow for any one of the number of flops he made on Monday, trying to 'unlawfully gain an advantage'.
It also seemed that VAR was rewatching every single action of ours with a fine-toothed comb, but giving a cursory rewatch to every Chav action against us.
If we're grokking INTENT with follow-throughs after successful defensive actions, then Shirley we can grok INTENT on diving/simulation/looking for contact to gain an advantage.
