@Peter_Bukowski I’m not even sure the goal is 100% accuracy any longer. I can’t shake the feeling that the VAR guys are desperately looking for any reason to disallow a goal, and high five if they do, and are bitterly disappointed if they don’t.
@birdsbomb22@billbarnwell That assumes that the gap is 90% to 98%. What if it’s more like 95% to 96%? And there clearly is a trade off in game flow for a system that still ends up with some number of errors.
@HausenKS To make it truly comparable, apply the cameras to the lineman only on touchdowns. Eight yard gain from the 34 yard line, same hold, don’t even look. But every touchdown, spend five minutes flyspecking every lineman desperately hoping for a violation.
@Schneider_CM@juliaioffe An even bigger problem to my mind is the thousands of other moms in the game that would be changed if subjected to the same slo-mo, hi def multi-angle endless scrutiny. How do you know offside? If something exciting happened, it’s offside.
@shhhbreslin Plus there are thousands of other moments in the game that would be changed if subject to that kind of scrutiny. Applying only a few times a game creates an even greater distortion.
@RossDyerTV The red card only happens with VAR repeatedly watching the play in slow motion. In real time, not zoomed in on the players that isn’t a red.
@Fawaz2818@acmilanchampo21 #4 makes contact with Harry’s right knee. It’s enough with Harry running full speed to send him forward off balance. Not a dive.
@DJDirrtyDogg@refsupportuk His right knee got clipped by #4. Running at full speed, that knocked him forward off balance. That’s why he stubbed his toe and was laid out when the keeper grabbed his shin.
@USMNTBaldEagle Not sure on a penalty, but it absolutely wasn’t a dive. #4 grabs his shoulder, then clips his right knee, sending Harry forward totally off balance. That’s why he was mostly laid out and dragging the back foot when the keeper grabbed his ankle.
@GoonerTaIk Once upon a time you could accurately predict the loser of the World Series by which team had the most former Cubs players. Not saying that applies to the Spurs, but I’m not saying it doesn’t.
@Schneider_CM There has always been money in politics. "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
