Football's obsession with 'VAR' technology mirrors a human obsession with certainty. Coventry City and football were denied a wonderful moment of FA Cup history by this ludicrous pursuit of certainty. Even then uncertainty remains despite an unforgettable result being overturned.
Football is a game played by humans and it should be subject to the decision-making of humans, not AI. Will mistakes be made? Of course. There is no such thing as certainty despite the obsession with it. AI makes mistakes and humans make mistakes interpreting AI.
There is no certain certainty, but the game is being ruined as a spectacle by chasing the impossible dream.
For the Coventry player to be deemed offside by a fraction of a toe when no advantage was gleaned is a statement about the madness of seeking certainty - and the same is played out across human society by trying to take uncertainty out of life which so often means the deletion of freedom.
The pursuit of certainty and impossible deletion of uncertainty is the foundation reason for producing snowflake generations. https://t.co/WzX2XmTEEq…

@TheRealSitts I did think yesterday the Liverpool Derby could've been better with a bit more Leeway,emotions are high..
Young's bookings were fair but Konate should have been sent off two if that's the case?
Dunno if we're better or worse without out,sometimes it's good to let the game settle
