Looked like he kicked the ground before there was any contact. It's still poor defending though.I'm guessing VAR is turned off tonight.

Goal line technology is a great addition to the game. The problem with that villa game is that when the technology didn't work, VAR didn't step up and fix the situation. The gutless pussies just sat there waiting for a watch to buzz instead of actually checking it out. VAR works for red cards and fuck all else.Except that one time out of millions that it didn't work and loads of people jumped up and down saying "SCRAP GOAL LINE TECH IT DOESN'T WORK THIS IS AN OUTRAGE"
Villa was it? Last season I think
Translation: Should make a 3D animation that illustrates this better, but here is the reason why it is hopeless that #VAR measures the position (offside) of a player leaning in a three-dimensional space, based on a two-dimensional image.
This is fine IF they manage to EXACTLY get the moment that the ball was kicked.
IMO They should use the torso like in Athletics.
Anything that is an obvious fault ok but goals are being ruled out for toenails !
They should simply bin it off.This is fine IF they manage to EXACTLY get the moment that the ball was kicked.

Doesnt work for reds eitherGoal line technology is a great addition to the game. The problem with that villa game is that when the technology didn't work, VAR didn't step up and fix the situation.

They have time matched images, use the image of ball and it ties to the other. Doesn't resolve framerates thoughWell I don’t think that’s the remedy, but even if you do; you can’t see the ball in that image at all. It’s plainly obvious that it can’t be determined from that image and yet that’s exactly what they’ve done.
I was assuming Stevie Wonder wasn't operating itDoesnt work for reds either

For the measurement to be accurate:
1. They should factor in the frame rate of the camera
2. Agree on is it when the ball is hit or when it leaves the boot
3. Measure point 2 when also measuring the player supposed to be offside
4. Take the offside measurement using the placement of the foot furthermost (before anyone says what about headers, I'd say fuck headers)
It should be binned as per above example renders the entire measurement ridiculous.
Son has not gained an advantage here. No defender or attacking player will no if a player is offside, there is zero skill involved from either a defender playing attacker offside or attacker beating the offside trap. It's just a guess.
Kind of agree with this, however, no one can make an accurate call from the camera angles used to make that call. No one has a better view to call an offside than the lino, his view is far more important than anyone who views the TV Monitor, it's pointless using the monitor both with and without the lines.They should just stop using the lines altogether. If the VAR official cannot see a clear offside with just his eyes looking at the image, give the goal. We should be ruling goals out for clear and obvious errors not this GCSE Maths shit.
For me it's a red card for dangerous play. We can't know for sure there was intent - IMHO there was, I think he has a sneaky side eye - but there was I believe enough time for him to place his foot somewhere else at least, it didn't happen that quickly.On the Fleck/Lo Celso incident, the only person that really knows if it should have been a send off is Fleck himself. His foot has to go somewhere, Lo Celso was already rolling around on the ground.
Could he have done more to avoid it, probably yes, but intent has to be proven and it can't be in that instance in my view. Judgement call by the referee and VAR that it was incidental rather than violent conduct, I can live with that.
