I didn't agree with it when Sterling's goal was ruled out either.

I don't believe it's within the spirit of the game to rule out a goal that's that close. And I think they ought to provide more clarity on the process. Am I supposed to trust that this technology is so good that they really can make a decision to rule out a goal for being mm offside? Is the technology that accurate?

It might be, but I don't know

Then you haved to talk about the offside rule if you want, but VAR worked perfectly there and according to the rules. There was no robbery.

I never said there was. The worst thing I've said is Spurs are unlucky and it feels stupid to enforce offside on such thin margins.

Also the Kane goal, man I have so much respect to his ability. Reminds of that diving header goal that he scored (Don't remember against which team), one of the best headers I have seen till date and its shame no one talks about.

City 3-0 up against Watford in 15 mins while Burnley are 2-0 up against Norwich in the same time.

by Nishankly Sat Sep 21, 2019 3:15 pm

Sorry 4-0 in 15 mins

It's on days like this that I wish we had more than 2 spurs fans. I remember a certain Nascar fan last season saying spurs are a better team than Liverpool ffs Laughing

Doing a Wigan here.

Yeah, instances like this feel very frustrating. There should be a margin of error of, say, 15 centimeters, built into VAR offside decisions

by Sina Sat Sep 21, 2019 3:24 pm

Which brings back the debate that City doesn't have any legendary/Generational player that 'even if the match is not competitive you still want to keep watching just to watch this guy play'
None

This team had 30+ shots against Arsenal last week.

Bumery lives on.

This a joke or for real? 15cm is huge

Either way, the issue is that you can move a frame or two here, draw a line imperceptibly different there and all of a sudden Son is onside. Or you can do the same thing and he's off.

There needs to be a thorough calculation of a reasonable margin of error for offside decisions, and that ought to be applied to VAR.

This is all science & math. We can calculate this. This shouldn't be an issue.

It's not a joke.
Let's say 10cm then.
If you're offside 1 cm (as determined by technology), it won't be sactioned. If you're off 11 cm, you're too far off.

That would install a bit of leniency in the optics of this, and would honour the spirit of "in doubt for the attacker".
Because frankly I don't think the system is able to exactly determine a 1 cm difference, technically.

by Sina Sat Sep 21, 2019 3:49 pm

Pre VAR era we would look at the replay once think they are level,goal is given and everyone moves on

i think this just the case that in few years var will be normalized and even this millimeter close call will be accepted

Just not used to this yet

by Lex Sat Sep 21, 2019 4:01 pm

No worries, Kane will just have to dive for more penalties the next game to offset VAR

by Harmonica Sat Sep 21, 2019 4:02 pm

Manitas after 17 minutes, marriages at half-time. What a horrible league. rofl
