Get VAR in the fucking bin (12 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

LOL
I was assuming that the systems footballers use is more acurate, GPS probably being a misnomer. Thre wouldn’t be much point in producing player heatmaps if they were 3 metres out.

I think they use some kind of similar system TBF. Just not literal GPS.

From a scientific paper in Orthopaedic reviews

The use of GPS and inertial devices for player monitoring in team sports: A review of current and future applications​

John S. Theodoropoulos,1 Jeremy Bettle,2 and Jonathan D. Kosy1

Stadium based systems have now been developed to allow the use of receivers for indoor sports (or where satellite coverage is deficient).9 It is claimed that these Local Positioning Systems (LPS) can pinpoint position, within the arena, to within 10 cm.

Probably not accurate enough.

PS this is what being a pedant means.

Seems they mix GPS and other systems as well as accelerometers for accuracy. I’d have thought we use stuff like ProZone which I think is an LPS (so stadium based).

Or you know, we could just trust the guy with the flag who has trained & been doing it for years. It worked for centuries before & he literally couldn't have been better placed.

The on field officials were excellent btw.

He’s also using his years of experience to notice that Wright is going away from goal and Wan - Bissaka is going towards his own goal

Thats not offside, not even close, this gets worse the more we look at it. Jesus Christ, Doug King has to do something, this is fucking corruption of the highest order.

 

[wingy]

Oh ok so it’s the FA and / or Man U you want to take on?

Bit silly and hot headed - hence my original comment

Maybe they've offered it already?

 

[messiahrobins]

I've not really seen it any more than anyone else I don't think but I probably do analyse the intricacies of it because, as you well know, I have always been vocal in my disdain for VAR, even before it became a reality as I knew this would happen.

The relevant part from IFAB about when the ball is played says...
"At the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate.."
*The first point of contact of the ‘play’ or ‘touch’ of the ball should be used."

As others have said in this thread & I have been saying for years though, is it is IMPOSSIBLE to define exactly when that is because of the poor quality 50fps cameras they use so it's literally guesswork to the nearest frame. When you have players moving at speed in opposite directions this can make an enormous difference ; 15-20cm, possibly even more.
The authorities know this but still pedal the "offside is offside " bollocks & claim it is factual when it absolutely is not.

The IFAB VAR Protocol also tells us that offside is not exempt from the "clear & obvious" mantra but that is also ignored as they pretend that the tech is infallible.

Time for the club to instruct lawyers.

Offered what?

 

[Houdi]

VAR looks at an incident and if it looks too close to call to the naked eye, you go back to the on-field officials original ruling.

Anything that needs a slide rule and minutes of analysis, should be dumped.

It would be much fairer than having no VAR at all and wouldn't pee people off as much as VAR does right now.

Yesterday just happens to be the perfect example.

The ref said it was a goal, the linesman said it was a goal, the Man U players thought it was a goal, the City players and fans thought it was a goal and the Man U fans thought it was a goal too

Given that freeze frame, the VAR should immediately say "it's too close to call", stick with the on-field decision.

Ditch anything with miniscule interrogation (the technology is not good enough anyway). No drawing lines, unless it is to show someone was well offside. Not by a toenail. Clear on instant viewing. Something you can see in an instant.

There is still a decision to be made as to where you apply the ruling from in terms of distance etc,.but no one could look at that footage yesterday and say an obvious mistake had been made. No-one.

That's what VAR should be there for. Clear errors on the parts of the officials.

Exactly this, just as in cricket when they use umpires/referees call ,for any marginal decision, they use the umpire's decision. It works in cricket, the players now accept, and it is virtually never contoversial.

 

[Como]

Too late now,

I remember when VAR was being discussed it was said the implementation was wrong, supposed to be clear in obvious errors.

i think the system being talked about for location is the sort of thing farmers and earthwork contractors use but they are dealing with vehicles not people who have arms and legs,

 

[clint van damme]

Thought Jones had a good game in all fairness.

He did to be fair but I thought that was poor from him.

I think that’s compelling
I think the official has used an incorrect frame
What a tit
It’s not corruption it’s an awful mistake to assume the pass is made at a time it isn’t

 

[wingy]

The fact you all accept this is evidence of the corruption of your minds,seduced by the technology,we should be at the final!

That's the VAR protocol. As soon as they see the motion blur on the ball they say that's too late as it's clearly already been kicked so roll back to a previous frame. The knock on effect as to how much players have moved, especially when going in opposite directions, is massive.

That’s what I think the club needs to make the point and have emailed to say
It’s not accurate and it’s not correct especially when it’s the defender getting back
It’s also not per ifab

They should allow for the margin of error then, common sense really.

It does look like the wrong frame was used, however none of the players positions seems to change significantly. AWB still has his weight (still standing) on his right foot, so his line would still be in the same place. Haji still has both feet on the floor (so not moving) and pointing to where he wants the ball - so his line would still be in the same place.

its the drawing of the lines that is the problem, in reality they probably overlap which means level and not offside

If AWB is moving which he was his position by the laws of physics will have to have changed even if it is by millimetres which is enough.

Wright on the other hand doesn't move until the ball is fully played.

You can see AWB left leg has moved forward a little, but his right foot is ”planted”. Would it have moved? I’m not sure but not convinced. However, it wouldn’t half stop controversy if they took more care to use the right frame. They haven’t thought at all about the nature of O’Hare’s movement of the ball to effect the pass.

 

[Ccfcsj]

VAR should abide by 2 rules in my opinion

1) If it's so tight you have to draw lines - which a lot of the time are drawn incorrectly (timing, not straight, etc) then go with the on field decision

2) If the decision takes longer than 30 seconds, go with the on field decision

It was meant to be used for clear and obvious errors - if either of the above are true, it matches neither of those objectives

yes he is moving, unless he has some how fucked with the laws of physics he has moved

it might be a few millimetres and not visible on that pixelated picture but he will have moved.

That's supposedly what the 'thicker lines' shown on TV do, giving a 10cm margin of error, but I'm not convinced. It's insufficient anyway as studies show the actual margin of error can be up to 38cm.

But y tho?

I know-it’s a strange one. You would assume that penalties were not classed as part of the same match.

The whole attitude to pens is so weird. Game goes down as a draw. Cards are wiped. Goals scored don’t count in the stats. Just weird.

It’s the not counting goals that gets me. Hajis pen in the game counts to his stats, but his pen in the shootout doesn’t…

TBH, thats the least of the worries about penalty shootouts. The double jeopardy of separate coin tosses for end and first pen is seriously wrong.

It’s all wrong. Just weird rules for no reason and that one in particular you mention makes pens even less fair, which is just:

 

[CBS16]

How unlucky do we have to be. Lose 4 wembley pen shootout coin tosses on the trot. Have the most debatable and tight offside nonsense I've ever seen go against us. Onana second yellow doesn't count in a shootout or whatever nonsense that is. As said above, just weird rules that I swear nobody anywhere played to a few years ago and have only made the game worse. If we're at Wembley again, we have to take all of this frustration out, some poor team is getting it

Is that the margin. The gap looked less than that on Sunday!

 

[Como]

Someone on the radio said it is either onside or offside, and whilst that is theoretically true it would also require an infinite resolution and fps to determine it.

I was at the game when Ernie Hunt scored that freekick and wondered what on earth had happened, we were down the far end, had to wait until MoD to see it. I am sure there were all sorts of questionable calls back then but do not remember this level of grief.

I am sort of glad it is not in the Championship, now I think VAR could work, the issue is implementation. I still think in Imperial but below 1/4 inch switch to mm, this was a metric call.

When you are discussing which frame to use something has gone horribly wrong.

Haha this is disgraceful. Did not realise Liverpool got that call on the same day we got our one…
